Information for Prospective Students |
||
| This past year (2010-11) was a busy one in my lab. We had four graduate students, three of whom graduated. This year (2011-12), we have two new graduate students in the lab. The Department of Biology at UL Lafayette offers both M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology. For research and teaching, our students can draw on animal care facilities, extensive laboratory equipment, the microscopy center, museum collections, and library holdings in anatomy, physiology, and herpetology. Our graduate students gain excellent experience with developing and conducting independent research projects, with presenting research results at scientific conferences, and with publishing scientific papers. Our doctoral graduates have been highly successful in finding research or teaching positions in their fields of interest.
Louisiana is a great place to be a biologist, especially a field biologist (or a lab biologist who likes to go on field trips). Here are links to photographs showing some biology in Louisiana:
