Statute of Limitations and Leaves of Absence
A student must complete his/her PhD degree requirements within five years of matriculating to Rush in the Department of Biochemistry, excluding any leaves of absence. Extensions of this limitation may be granted under unusual circumstances on a quarter-by-quarter basis upon petition to the Director of Educational Programs who will act based on the advice of the Graduate Program Committee.
Extramural Experience
Selected students will have an opportunity to spend one quarter in a basic science research laboratory in an industrial organization or another recognized research institution of higher learning in the United States or Europe. It is expected that work in the extramural laboratory will aid the student in his/her dissertation research work. The students will be selected for this experience upon written application to the Director of Graduate Education through guidelines established by the Division.
