The Salk Institute provides an outstanding environment for graduate training. Approximately 100 students are currently pursuing Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees with Salk faculty. These students come to Salk laboratories via admission to graduate programs within the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and receive a degree from UCSD. The Salk Institute participates in an affiliated graduate program with the Division of Biological Sciences.

In addition, Salk faculty have affiliations with a number of other graduate programs at UCSD:

• Chemistry and Biochemistry
• Neurosciences
• Biomedical Sciences
• Cognitive Science
• Molecular Pathology
• Medical Scientist Training Program

Interested individuals should contact either one of our faculty members or the appropriate UCSD department.
