A Personalized Research Experience
Our graduate students are part of an active community of scholars who master critical analysis, advanced field and laboratory techniques, and research dissemination. We maintain a low student-to-faculty ratio, admitting approximately 8–10 new students each year to work with 25 full-time faculty. This ensures a highly personalized educational experience.
