NRC Rating

The MCB program offers students a unique multidisciplinary course of study leading to the PhD degree. The breadth and quality of the participating laboratories at Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, or Brookhaven National Laboratory provides students an outstanding opportunity for doctoral training in any one of a variety of disciplines.

The 2010 National Research Council (NRC) survey, the most authoritative survey of graduate programs, has rated the MCB program very highly. Only 17 out of 85 universities rated had programs with higher average R ratings, and only 6 universities had better rankings in the Northeast.
