Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs span the breadth of the University of Arizona research, and our Program includes over 70 faculty members from at least 15 departments, across 6 Colleges at the University of Arizona. This allows graduate students in our Master’s and PhD programs to work side-by-side with the faculty investigators, addressing a broad spectrum of disease processes in areas such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuroscience, cancer, asthma, and more!  In addition to the unique opportunities of the interdisciplinary nature of our Program:

• Our PhD program is regularly ranked in the Top 10 Physiology PhD programs in the United States (NRC).
• Our PhD students are fully funded and our Master’s students have the opportunity for full funding through Teaching Assistantships. 
• Our faculty members are internationally recognized scientists who use innovative techniques and experimental approaches from molecular to human studies, and possess expertise in professional development and mentoring.
• We participate in a MD-PhD dual degree program, allowing students to complete both degrees in less time.
