1) Plant Biology and Conservation
The Integrated Program in Plant Biology and Conservation focuses on preparing students for future leadership positions in botanical science and plant conservation. Conducted jointly by Northwestern University (NU) and the Chicago Botanic Garden (CBG), the program offers both MS and PhD degrees through The Graduate School at Northwestern University. Advanced courses are taught by eminent professors and scientists affiliated with both institutions in a variety of fields, including biology, ecology, plant science, environmental science, earth science, anthropology, and economics.
Northwestern University is offering a new interdisciplinary masters degree program in which students receive training in computer science, mathematics, engineering and biology, culminating in a masters degree in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
