During their first year ILS graduate students engage in a core curriculum with opportunities to rotate through the labs of faculty from at least two different departments. By the end of the spring semester, ILS students are expected to select a sponsoring faculty advisor/lab. ILS graduate students are then admitted to the graduate program of the primary home department of the faculty advisor and will be required to meet all the doctoral degree requirements in that department. The ILS is not a degree granting program, rather it is designed to broaden research opportunities for students who wish to explore the breadth and depth of research in the life sciences.
