Graduate Studies : Hopkins hosts approximately 25 graduate students from the Department of Biology and IPER (Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Environment and Resources). Ph.D. students typically spend one year on main campus to complete coursework and fulfill teaching requirements. Students then move to the Monterey area to complete their Ph.D. research at Hopkins in conjunction with one of the permanent faculty. Prospective Hopkins graduate students must apply through the Department of Biology or the IPER program. Opportunities also exist for coursework and short-term research projects for graduate students in other departments. For example, each summer an environmental microbiology course at Hopkins, 274H, attracts students from Environmental Engineering, Geophysics, and Geological and Environmental Sciences. A new program allows classes to be taken at nearby institutions as well. See M.A.R.I.N.E. Graduate students awards are given to further help with research costs. Graduate students do well after leaving Hopkins. The Stanford Bulletin provides more details on the graduate program or you can contact: Student Services Office For an application. The deadline for applications is December 2, 2008 for admittance in the following Autumn quarter. See also: Faculty Awards. |
