Graduate Studies Program

Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste (CIBNOR), as an entity that contributes to the welfare of society, has the strategic objective of developing human resources in sustainable management of natural resources by providing an excellent academic education to fit activities that contribute to national development. With this committment, CIBNOR's Graduate Study Program started formal operations in 1994 offering Doctor of Science in Use, Management and Conservation of Natural Resources, and by 1998, once expectations were met, it strengthens by offering Master of Science in Use, Management and Conservation of Natural Resources. Both programs are registered in CONACYT's National Program of Quality Graduate Studies  [Programa Nacional de Posgrados de Calidad], which guarantees scholarship support for candidates that meet graduate profile and requirements. In 2012, according to CONACYT's institutional policy to promote interinstitutional graduate studies to take advantage of institutional strengths and foster research and teaching opportunities in education centers and institutions, the Interinstitutional Program Doctor of Science in Fisheries and Aquaculture Bioeconomy was made official with the participation of three well-known institutions Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, S.C.
