Across the Academy
From biology to history, ¶¥¼¶¹ú²úÊÓƵ graduate students pursue fundamental research across the arts and sciences.
Great minds don’t think alike. But when they think together, they’re capable of amazing discoveries. When you pursue graduate research at ¶¥¼¶¹ú²úÊÓƵ, you’ll be part of this diversity of thought — challenging and solving our world’s most difficult problems.
¶¥¼¶¹ú²úÊÓƵ fosters research that crosses traditional disciplinary, intellectual, and societal boundaries. The graduate students who make up our campus community share a passion for challenging conventional wisdom and reaching out to their colleagues in other disciplines to develop solutions to critical issues. As you share ideas with your peers at ¶¥¼¶¹ú²úÊÓƵ and in the wider world, you gain a deeper understanding of your own field and a greater appreciation for what can be achieved through research that marries theory and practice.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF
I became interested in policies surrounding national security, humanitarian aid, and human mobility. ¶¥¼¶¹ú²úÊÓƵ is an ideal place to think critically about these issues because the faculty and students provide global perspectives on these topics.
M.A. ’17, International Development and Social Change
You really have to be there to fathom the grandeur of this global forum. The sessions we were part of, coupled with opportunities to network with industry pioneers, made for an unparalleled experience.
M.S. ’18, Business Analytics
Karen [Frey] is an amazing scientist. It has been great to rely on my adviser for more than just purely scientific and dissertation guidance — but also for real-life advice, particularly around being a female in the geosciences.
Ph.D. student, Geography
¶¥¼¶¹ú²úÊÓƵ has outstanding partnerships that have allowed me to stretch the limits of my work. My collaboration with UMass Medical School has provided me with training for mass spectrometry and transition electron microscopy.
Ph.D. student, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Mark Turnbull is an exceptional professor. The way I think critically about problems, the questions I ask my fellow researchers, and my approach to being a teaching assistant are all very much modeled after his example.
Ph.D. student, Chemistry
