Several of the associated departments also participate in the interdisciplinary degree program, the Master of Natural Sciences, M.N.S., which is a 36-hour degree program of which 12 hours must be coordinated graduate study in a department outside the home department. The CBS degree program, on the other hand, is a 42-hour degree program. It is distinguished from traditional programs through not only the increased credit hour requirement, but also all the following components: Students complete a minimum of 6 hours of professional courses offered by the W.P. Carey School of Business through the School of Health Administration and Policy. It is a cross-disciplinary program administered through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, with an even broader internal advisory committee, which has faculty members from the School of Life Sciences, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Computer Science Engineering, Physics and Astronomy and the School of Health Administration Policy. Students are required to take core graduate level courses in mathematics, statistics, molecular biology and computer science. Prerequisites for admission to the degree program are stringent and include that students have undergraduate courses beyond the sophomore level in mathematics, computer science, life sciences and biochemistry. Student must complete a professional internship and write a technical report on their project. The technical project is also presented to all students of the program. Students complete several team projects and learn communication and presentation skills for crossing the related disciplines.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses Biology General Genetics Cell Biology Chemistry Elementary Organic Chemistry Principles of Biochemistry Mathematics Modern Differential Equations Introductory Applied Statistics Computer Science Concepts of Computer Science and Data Structures  International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 0  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:
