MBGB also provides opportunities for research rotations in at least two of the laboratories run by more than 145 faculty members participating in the program. During the first year, each student becomes associated with a specialized area of study and begins participating in research, elective courses and seminars in appropriate areas. The areas of study are listed to the right. At the end of the first year, student proficiency in critical thinking is tested by a preliminary examination. After completing the first-year requirements and passing the preliminary examination, the student selects a thesis advisor and begins thesis research leading to the Ph.D. degree in one of the several participating departments. Regular teaching of undergraduates is part of graduate student training in the first or second year of study. During the second year and beyond, students participate in journal clubs and seminars, as specified by departmental requirements. Further information is available in the catalogue sections of the participating departments and through the MBGB program office.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation:
