Transfer Students

Course Requirements:

Most transfer students to the Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology program arrive with a Masters degree from another academic institution. Transfer of previous course credits (up to 24) is worked out case-by-case, based on compatibility of course subject matter and the field of thesis research. A minimum of 32 course credits must still be met for the PhD. 

Qualifying and Propositional/Oral Exam:

Students who transfer into the Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology Program with a Masters degree are not obligated to take the written qualifying exam. However, the oral qualifying exam must be taken within 3 semesters of arrival. Exams scheduled for the third semester require administrative approval of the graduate program director.
