Graduate Students

EvoS is intended to enable graduate students from all academic units within Binghamton University to adopt an evolutionary perspective without adding an undue burden to their existing requirements. Graduate students are a critical component of the program, not only as students but as teachers and colleagues, and are therefore encouraged to contribute ideas to the design and operation of the program.

Joining EvoS

Enrollment in the graduate EvoS program is indicated by enrollment in the Graduate School’s Evolutionary Studies certificate program. Here’s how to apply:

1. Visit the Graduate School’s Graduate Applications portal and click Add-On Certificate Program.
2. Under “Step 2″ click Go to Application
3. Create a login and pin
4. Fill out form and select Evolutionary Studies CERT from the drop down menu

Once you’ve applied, you will be added to the general EvoS Blackboard group.  Upon completion, and pending receipt of the processing fee collected by the Graduate School, you will receive the certificate and acknowledgement on your official transcript.
