Graduate Programs Affiliated with the MSTP


The MSTP faculty mentors are drawn from all over the University of Iowa. Because we have faculty in so many departments and programs, we are able to open these avenues to our students in their graduate phase. We have mentors in the applied health sciences, biomedical and life sciences, engineering, and physical sciences. This means we have faculty in not only the Carver College of Medicine but from the Colleges of Engineering, Public Health, Pharmacy, and Liberal Arts & Sciences. The MSTP is also affiliated with the nearly all of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs on Campus. This broad selection of potential research laboratories allows individual students to choose the most appropriate thesis laboratory for their own interests and skills.

This is a list of current affiliated graduate programs.  We are open to adding additional programs as students express interest.
