Message from the Dean

Welcome to the UAMS Graduate School, home to several graduate programs leading to Graduate Certificates, MS, and PhD degrees. We are excited about our new and restructured basic science program, the Graduate Program in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences (GPIBS), that after completing a common core curriculum, allows students to select among six different tracks that include Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Physiology, Microbiology and Immunology, Neuroscience, Pathobiology, or Pharmacology-Toxicology and Experimental Therapeutics. In addition to GPIBS, we also have graduate programs Bioinformatics, Biomedical Informatics, Clinical Nutrition, Clinical and Translational Sciences, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Epidemiology, Health Promotion and Prevention Research, Health Systems and Services Research, Implementation Science, Nursing Science, Pharmaceutical Science, and Regulatory Science.
