Office of Biomedical Graduate Research, Education & Training (BGREAT)

minneapolis campus

The BGREAT office and the Office of Professional Development serve as resources for current and prospective graduate students in the biomedical sciences. We encourage students at all stages of their training to contact us to ask questions about the University of Minnesota, our graduate programs and our student services.

BGREAT supports graduate student academic and personal success with resources to foster their retention and graduation.

Office Hours will be held via Zoom. Come talk with the Dean about anything.

Congratulations to all our graduates from fall 2019 through spring 2021!

While we could not be together in person to celebrate your achievements, we recognize and are so proud of all you have accomplished.

Please see the attached program for messages from the College of Biological Sciences and Medical School deans, conferral of degrees from UMN Board of Regents chair Ken Powell, and a list of graduates.
