Push the frontiers. Explore life sciences. Your way.

At UGA, you choose. The Integrated Life Sciences (ILS) Program allows first-year graduate students to explore the research areas of nearly 140 faculty in 10 different departments across 4 colleges, then choose a major professor and a departmental home within the first year.

Interested in molecular, cellular or developmental biology? Interested in evolution and ecology? Interested in a combination of these areas?

Spend time working with faculty on animal, plant and microbial systems with someone doing bioinformatic or theoretical work -- without having to immediately choose which department the research program is housed in.

Interested in a novel interdisciplinary approach to a research problem?

Work with faculty from multiple departments who will help you create a unique research project. The flexibility of this graduate program allows you multiple ways to follow your interests and creativity.
