UNC Biological & Biomedical Sciences Program

The Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program is a unified mechanism by which prospective students apply for graduate study in the biological or biomedical sciences at UNC Chapel Hill. BBSP students are fully funded and admitted with no formal commitment to a PhD program until they choose their thesis labs. Students are free to explore any courses and faculty that interest them during the first academic year. During the first year BBSP students are also part of small, interest based groups led by faculty members. These groups provide professional development and community for students until they join one of the 14 different member PhD programs. In addition to the degree programs, UNC has a number of Specialized Training Tracks that provide focused training in areas of particular strength among our faculty. The BBSP program will begin accepting applications for Fall 2014 admissions in August when the UNC Graduate School opens the online application. The deadline for completed application materials is December 3, 2013. You can find detailed information on our program on our website:
