Georgia Southern to Offer New Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences

Georgia Southern University's College of Science and Mathematics has received approval from the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to launch a Doctor of Philosophy in biomedical sciences degree.

Classes will begin in fall 2026 on both the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses, pending final approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

"The program creates an invaluable educational pipeline, completing the continuity of training we envisioned when we launched our undergraduate program," said Michael Huggins, Ph.D., dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. "Now, students can begin their journey with us as freshmen, engage in mentored research throughout their bachelor's degree and seamlessly transition into a terminal degree that accelerates their progress toward becoming independent researchers."

This new program will provide students with a continuous educational pathway from undergraduate to doctoral studies.
