Introduction
The University of Michigan expects that students who are trained in interdisciplinary life science degree programs will become the norm in the next decade, and that they will have a substantial advantage in the job market. Regardless of their career goals, responsible citizenship and participation in the
difficult social choices that lie ahead also require that U-M students
attain at least an awareness and literacy in the life sciences.
New interdisciplinary courses are being created for undergraduates which
bring together teachers from across campus. Graduate programs are developing
new degrees that straddle traditional academic boundaries to encompass
the new intellectual synergies under this broad topic of ‘life sciences.’ The
size, scope, and quality of Michigan’s academic research in the life
sciences creates a fertile environment for this educational mission.
