The Stanford Biosciences is an umbrella program that provides a single application and unified graduate training across a range of disciplines in biology and biomedical research. The Biosciences program encourages students to explore research opportunities, carry out rotations, and choose dissertation research in any of the 14 Home Programs. Each student is admitted to a particular Home Program, which then provides a primary academic base. Your program selection should be based on the alignment of your interests with a program's faculty, and the specifics of the program curriculum. Regardless of your Home Program, you have full access to faculty in all of the other Home Programs for laboratory rotations and potential thesis work.
The Honors Cooperative Program (HCP) allows professionals to pursue graduate study on a part-time and/or remote basis through the Stanford Engineering Center for Global and Online Education (CGOE). HCP applicants are subject to the same admission requirements as full-time applicants, although application deadlines may differ. The availability of remote offerings varies by department; refer to the Stanford Online course catalog for current offerings.
