Berkeley Natural History Museums supports graduate degrees through several departments including Anthropology, Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, Earth and Planetary Science, Geography, and Integrative Biology. Students have access to a tremendous variety of courses taught in the area of evolutionary biology and systematics across the different departments

In addition, students gain these substantial benefits through association with the museums: 1) Participation in the intellectual environment of each museum and the BNHM collective, 2) Access to funding for research, travel and stipends, and 3) Direct access to world-class collections and facilities

Graduate students associated with any of the Berkeley Natural History Museums or the California Biodiversity Center are invited to participate in a new program with local schools. Visit the GK12 website for more information on applying. This program started in Fall 2003 and will run through 2011.
