The advancement of medical knowledge depends on the training of intellectually stimulated, innovative scientists who will serve as the leaders of biomedical research in the future. The goal of Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas is to give outstanding students the opportunity and the encouragement to investigate rigorously and solve significant problems creatively in the biological, physical and behavioral sciences.

The graduate school comprises 13 specific areas of graduate studies: Biological Chemistry, Biomedical Communications, Biomedical Engineering, Cell Regulation, Clinical Psychology, Genetics and Development, Immunology, Integrative Biology, Molecular Biophysics, Molecular Microbiology, Neuroscience, Radiological Sciences, Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology.

Although enrolled in a specific program area, the graduate student is not restricted to courses in that area. Exposure to a wide variety of academic disciplines is necessary to prepare the student for rapidly changing emphases in biomedical sciences. Disciplinary labels of graduate programs should not be viewed as restrictive. Graduate students at the medical center gain a wide perspective of contemporary biomedical science through interdisciplinary courses, seminars and informal discussions involving students and faculty from all three component schools: Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Southwestern Medical School and Southwestern Allied Health Sciences School.
