Laboratory course (2-3 credit hours)

Students whose graduate research involves use of biotechnology laboratory techniques will not be required to complete a laboratory course. An exemption from this requirement will be granted by the Program Director if the student demonstrates use of the range of covered techniques by coauthor status on a publication (either submitted or published), or first author status on an abstract for a presentation at a national meeting, and/or direct confirmation of the contribution by the student’s advisor. In this case, elective courses may be substituted for the laboratory course to reach the 15 hours of minimum credits required.
