Research Activities

In addition to coursework, students will be involved in research projects that will include a dissertation. Students will select a research mentor after participating in a minimum of two laboratory rotations. Beginning in year two of the program for full-time students (or after 24 credit hours of instruction for part-time students), students will give an annual Works-In-Progress (WIP) seminar on their own research as part of Doctoral Seminar I or II. They will also be required to attend the Doctoral Seminar series on a biweekly basis for at least two semesters.
