Courses are taught by faculty located at both RPCI and at the North and South Campuses of the State University of New York at Buffalo. Following the completion of the formal didactic coursework, each student must complete a written and oral preliminary examination. The format of the exam involves the preparation and defense of an NIH RO1-style grant proposal in an area of cancer research outside of the student's own research project. After passing the preliminary exam in the 2nd year of study, the student advances to Ph.D. candidacy. In the third year of study, students prepare a thesis project proposal and assemble a thesis committee led by their major advisor. Generally in the 5th year of study, after at least 32 credit hours of independent laboratory research, the student defends an original Ph.D. thesis. Degrees are awarded through the State University of New York at Buffalo Roswell Park Graduate Division. Ph.D. graduates of the program are highly competitive for research and faculty positions at universities, biomedical research centers, and the pharmaceutical industry.     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 iBT 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: $ 288.00  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
