The Graduate College core curriculum is designed to enhance interaction among students from all the programs while, at the same time, providing the basic knowledge base the faculty have deemed necessary to become successful in science. The core curriculum runs for three consecutive quarters (fall, winter and spring) and provides introductory training in molecular genetics, genomics and protein biology, cell biology, tissue biology, and cell signaling. Students will also learn basic theory underlying modern scientific technique. In addition, the student will take courses in ethics, scientific writing, and basic statistics. These core courses will be supplemented by advanced courses offered by the individual divisions.
The following courses comprise The Graduate College Core (GCC) curriculum:
GCC 501 Molecular Biology: Genome to Proteome
GCC 502 Cellular Biochemistry: Proteins, Transport and Signaling
GCC 503 Functional Cell Biology
GCC 504 Functional Tissue Biology
GCC 505 Techniques in Biomedical Sciences
GCC 506 Biomedical Ethics
GCC 507 Medical Research Strategies
GCC 508 Writing Practicum
In addition to these requirements, full-time doctor of philosophy (PhD) candidates in The Graduate College must attend a minimum of four ethics seminars per year provided by the Office of Research Integrity following their first year of classes. Failure to attend the required number of lectures or equivalent will delay graduation. |
