Typical courses taken during the first year of study. Fall Semester #1
Spring Semester #1
*Active participation (discussion and presentation of journal articles) in the journal club is required every semester of graduate school and each student must make at least four journal club presentations during his/her graduate studies beginning with the second year.
Summer Session #1 and Summer Session #2
Students who enter the program with advanced standing, e.g., those who have previously taken courses in biochemistry and molecular biology, may request to be excused from taking sections of the IBS courses. They will be asked to take an exam to show proficiency in these areas of biochemistry. All students are normally required to take three laboratory rotations with different mentors. In exceptional cases, a student may request to be excused from the third laboratory rotation. This usually occurs if a student already has a master degree in science and can show extensive laboratory research experience. In both cases the decision will be made by the operating committee on an ad hoc basis. |
