M.S. Degree Requirements
I n order to
accommodate students with varying career goals, two different tracks leading
to a Masters of Science degree in Physiology and Biophysics are available.
In the thesis track, students are required to complete 24 semester hours of
coursework, complete a thesis based on laboratory research, and defend the
thesis. In the non-thesis track, students are required to complete 30
semester hours of coursework and pass a comprehensive written examination.
Course requirements are described below. Students are responsible for
meeting the requirements of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics for
the M.S. degree and all University requirements and deadlines.
