PhD
Granting Dept Requirements
The CMB Program is not a formal degree-granting program.
Instead, upon graduating, students receive a Certificate from
the CMB Program and a Ph.D. from one of the Ph.D.-granting
Departments or Programs. The Certificate in Cell and Molecular
Biology is an honor that will attest to broad training in
the field, while the Ph.D. documents the in-depth training
in a more particular area of expertise.
CMB students can earn their PhD in any of the Departments
and Programs listed below, as long as their research mentor
belongs to that group. The choice of PhD-granting Department/Program
is made near the end of the first year, after students have
chosen their thesis mentor. The Department Affiliation form
(PDF link) should be completed and returned to the CMB Program
Office at that time.
Information about the specialized training and requirements
for each Department and Program can be found by following
the link to their own web sites:
