The Academic Program
The academic curriculum of the Cell and Molecular Biology Program is intended to complement rigorous training in experimental laboratory science. In addition to the required course work, students are expected to participate in programs designed to develop individual professional skills as scientists. All doctoral students gain experience in teaching, typically in the undergraduate Introductory Biology courses. Public speaking and presentation skills are further defined in the CMB Seminar Series. Finally, writing and grantsmanship skills are developed in a grant writing workshop, followed by the preparation of an NIH-style project proposal. Students are advanced to candidacy after passing the comprehensive exam. More details regarding the academic curriculum of the CMB program can be found in the Handbook (487 kb pdf).
The ultimate goal of our CMB program is to produce highly qualified, confident and competitive individuals ready to take on the rigors of research today! |
