About our Program

The Interdisciplinary Faculty of Toxicology (IFT) is a graduate program that is composed of faculty from multiple colleges, departments, and laboratories at Texas A&M University. Since 1989, over 50 MS students, nearly 200 PhD students, and two DVM/PhD students have earned a Texas A&M Toxicology degree. In addition, well over 100 post-doctoral students have trained in our program.

Areas of Research

• Mechanistic Toxicology
• Data Science & Modeling

• Environmental Chemistry
• Biomedical Engineering
• Public Policy

Trainees in Action

Training the future generation of toxicologists in novel scientific discoveries should go hand-in-hand with ensuring that trainees develop a broad set of complementary competencies that span multiple disciplines from basic biology to exposure science, biostatistics, and epidemiology. Trainees must also understand how these data and knowledge are translated into decisions and policy.

Application

Entrance in the graduate program begins in the fall semester. Applications are accepted between September and February and applicants are encouraged to apply early. Applications from US citizens and permanent resident submitted by January 15 will be considered for institutional fellowships. The final deadline for application submission is March 1. Our annual open house takes place in February.
