Graduate Research
Applicants will be asked to choose up to three focus areas and up to three faculty whose research interests align with their goals.
- Graduate research focus areas allow us to divide our large department into smaller units that help manage application review, funding awards, and course offerings. Focus areas may be a good place to start for prospective students who do not have a specific research interest.
- Individual faculty research is illustrated with our Research Tags tool. Research tags allow students to search for faculty based on specific areas of expertise.
