EmIRGE-Bio supports graduate students in multiple science and engineering disciplines throughout their graduate career. The interdisciplinary program is designed to integrate research and an innovative team-based curriculum.
Pathways to participation
We offer several pathways to participate in the program that vary depending on when you enter EmIRGE-Bio and whether you have fellowship support:
- Funded Fellow, new applicant: admitted to the program at the same time as applying to graduate school at Syracuse University. Must be a new admit to the University and U.S. citizen or green card holder. Information for new applicants.
- Funded Fellow, current graduate student: this pathway is open to current first-year graduate students in one of our associated departments (Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Physics). Must be a U.S. citizen or green card holder. Apply early in the spring semester of your first year. Information for current students.
- Program Associate: open to any current graduate student in one of our associated departments at Syracuse University (see above), SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, or SUNY Upstate Medical University. Associates do not receive funding, but benefit from every other element of the program, including participation in the curriculum, internship track, and seed funding grants. Information for becoming an associate.
