Elective Component
An additional three elective courses are required, with at least two of the three being laboratory oriented. One course involving independent laboratory research (either 4910, 4920, 4950, 4960, H4990 or H5000) may be used as a laboratory-oriented course in the electives requirement. Students may use approved courses from other departments to fill the elective component. A list of courses which fulfill this requirement is available on the CMB Department website or from the CMB Department office.
Capstone Component
Finally, students must complete a capstone course. A list of courses which fulfill the capstone requirement is available on the Department website or from the CMB Department office.
