Students are encouraged through a variety of training opportunities to analyze data critically, to question existing programs and to propose new solutions to long-standing problems. These goals are achieved through courses, seminars, journal clubs, and laboratory research with a highly motivated research and teaching faculty. There are frequent opportunities for students and faculty to present and discuss data and ideas in open forums. Close collaborative interactions exist between the basic research faculty and the clinical staff at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Thus, students are able to observe first-hand the interactions between basic and translational research and ultimately, the clinical applications that result. During the first year, all students complete a core curriculum that includes immunology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular and cell biology. After three research rotations, a research mentor is selected and a supporting committee is established to help the student set up a program in his or her major field of interest. In subsequent years, the student concentrates on laboratory research; participates in advanced seminars; passes a qualifying exam, which consists of writing and presenting an NIH-style grant; and prepares a dissertation.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required: 72  Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees BS;BA;MS;MA;MD  Pre-Requisite Courses Science majors  International Student Requirements TOEFL or IELTS; GRE subject test required  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: 1100 GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $ 0.00  Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 160  # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA: 3.300  Average Test Scores: 1200  Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations: Science Majors  # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage: 99.00%  Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
