PhD Major in Cancer Biology
The program requires that graduate students majoring in Cancer Biology successfully pass ALL of the CBIO Core Classes (36 credits, 18 of which must be graded units). If a student plans to also minor in cancer biology, he/she must take additional Elective Courses to fulfill the graduation requirement (9 credits for the minor). However, if the student plans on minoring in another expertise, please check with that department's requirements (in terms of both coursework, as well as, number of faculty member needed for their Committee). For more detailed information about Majoring in CBIO, please take a look at the CBIO Handbook.
