forever reassessing
ourselves and our
programs in order to
develop and improve
courses for meeting the
ever-changing demands of
the world and for
preparing students for
high professional
standards while at the
same time promoting
personal growth. We are
also reorganizing
curricula to foster
greater creativity in
research and exploration
into new areas that
require integrating
finely specialized
research fields. At
present over 650
students are registered
in the Ph.D. programs of
various disciplines
under the regular Ph.D.

endeavor to produce at
least 100 Ph.Ds every

are bold and
imaginative. The
commitment of the

higher education, but
also to carry out
research and to deliver
academic services for
the benefits of the

Biological Sciences and
Hailey College of

established during the
year 2002-2003. Besides
this 20 new programs
were launched during the
last three years.
We believe
that every student has
the requisite potential
and our aim is to see
that this potential is
realized and fulfilled.
