学生 would normally be expected to stay in the same lab as their undergraduate research lab to complete their M.S. 论文电子游戏正规平台，所以不需要电子游戏正规平台轮转. Under special circumstances 学生 may switch laboratories following receipt of the B.S. 学位, for example, if there had been a close collaboration between faculty members. The idea is that the graduate research is an extension of the student’s undergraduate’s research and thus does not require the typical “ramp-up” training, 等. 新电子游戏软件学生必备. The student still must complete sufficient work as a graduate student to make an original contribution to scientific knowledge.

M.S. 5年毕业论文委员会.S./M.S. candidates should be formed and meet during fall of the senior year to frame the plan for M.S. 论文电子游戏正规平台.

A minimum of 17 graduate credits is required for the Master of Science 学位 as part of the combined 5年B.S./M.S. 程序 in 生物学—including four 电子游戏正规平台生 Core courses (BIOL 6110 Advanced Genetics, BIOL 6120电子游戏正规平台生生物化学, 电子游戏正规平台生分子生物学, and BIOL 6150 Advanced Cell 生物学) and three additional 生物学-approved 电子游戏正规平台生 Elective Courses (e.g.， biol5000 +， biol8000 +).
