How to Apply to the IBG Training program
New graduate applicants to the University of Colorado should apply directly to a Ph.D. program affiliated with IBG faculty. In addition, you should submit an interest form to IBG so we know you are interested in our certificate program.
Applications to the training program are accepted at any time. Admittance to the program and training grant appointments are determined every year in early February, coinciding with departmental program application deadlines. To be considered for the IBG training program at the beginning of a fall semester, we must receive your application materials by January 15 of that year.
