School of Graduate Studies

The mission of the LSU Health School of Graduate Studies is to provide inclusive and exceptional didactic and research training through our Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs. Through rigorous academic instruction, cutting-edge research opportunities, and mentorship from renowned faculty, we prepare our students for contemporary careers in the biomedical sciences. Together, we strive to advance scientific knowledge, improve healthcare outcomes, and make a positive impact on society. We offer graduate training programs for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and the Master of Science (MS) degrees. We also offer a combined MD/PhD in conjunction with the School of Medicine. Students select areas of study and research mentors from six basic science departments in the School of Medicine, as well as four Centers of Excellence.
