Providing a unique environment for graduate training in experimental pathology…<\/p>\n

The Molecular and Cellular Pathology Ph.D. program has a minimal number of obligatory core courses. The schedule of courses taken by individual students will vary tremendously, reflecting differences in educational background and other advanced training. Thus, a specific sequence of courses is structured for each student after consideration of the student’s career goals and previous educational background. Individual curriculum are designed to provide a strong foundation in the biomedical sciences and to maximize the student’s understanding of pathobiology. Students who already have a professional degree, or who have taken satisfactory introductory courses as undergraduates or in Masters’ programs, may proceed directly to more advanced topics in the first year. In contrast, students with recognized deficiencies in their educational backgrounds may receive extra tutorial teaching. Each student’s curriculum will also include special advanced courses in the area of concentration of the student’s research topic.<\/p>\n

Typical Curriculum for Pathobiology and Translational Science Ph.D.<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

This example assumes the student matriculates into the pathology program at the end of their first year in the Biologic and Biomedical Sciences Program (BBSP<\/a>). The required coursework is usually completed by the end of the student’s second year. Additional information about the pathology courses indicated in this example can be found under Course Offerings<\/a>. Information about courses offered by other programs within the graduate school is available in The Graduate School Record<\/a>.<\/p>\n
