Student Resources
Discover the extras that lead to success...
Without a doubt, the dissertation research conducted by students is the most critical component of their training, and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences offers a number of resources to help students meet their research goals quickly and effectively. In addition, the GSBS understands that students may need additional support in order to reach their maximum potential.
Getting into Graduate School...
"Beyond The Beakers" is an NSF-sponsored guidebook that provides practical advice about how to plan for an exciting career as a Ph.D. scientist. Written by Dr. Gayle Slaughter of Baylor College of Medicine, "Beyond the Beakers" covers such topics as finding research and work experiences, maximizing your GRE scores, finding mentors, and basic skills for becoming an effective scientist.
