Program of Study
Funding
Students intending to complete an MS degree are normally not supported by the program. This is, however, at the discretion of faculty who are members of the graduate group.
Ph.D. students in the program are funded from a variety of sources. The faculty in the graduate program expects to be able to provide funding for each student admitted to the program. We encourage students to seek outside sources of support and will assist students who are interested in writing applications for outside support. Entering students are normally supported for the first two quarters on Block grant funds that are provided by the UC Davis through the Office of Graduate Studies. The graduate group is fortunate to be able to garner support from numerous fellowship sources for many of our students. These include the following fellowships:
The NIEHS sponsored training grant in Environmental Toxicology
The Aerosols and Health Training Program
The Respiratory Diseases Training Program
NIH Training Program in Biomolecular Technology
A limited number of paid TA positions are available through the Department of Environmental Toxicology and other related departments across campus. For those students interested in combined degrees (MD/Ph.D.; DVM/Ph.D.) sources of support include the PSTP and the VSTP programs. The majority of our students are supported on funds from research grants held by major professors.
