Interdisciplinary Education
Establishing and running a graduate program that spans the disciplines of life and physical sciences presents unuasual challenges. Part of the mission of the Brandeis QB program is to make available to interdisciplinary programs at other institutions the pedogogical techniques and educational materials that we have developed at Brandeis. The following resources are currently available:
