The program is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in biomedical and behavioral science research.
*This program is not intended for students who plan to attend medical, veterinary, dental or other professional schools.
1. Do I need to know what I’m going to do when I graduate?
Not necessarily. You need to know if you have a strong interest in biomedical and behavioral science research. The program is designed to assist you in finding out what you need to do when you graduate. As a RISE student however, you will be required to apply to graduate school. You will receive assistance in completing graduate school applications.
2. How will students pick a research project?
RISE Staff will work with you to determine which faculty members are actively conducting research that most compliments your interests. After meeting with your desired mentor and obtaining a place in their lab, you and your mentor will decide the research project you will conduct under their direction.
