To meet the research requirement, students may take a classroom literature review-based course (LS 803 Contemporary Topics Research) or, under special circumstances, engage in a two-semester wet bench research project with a selected PI (LS 804 Experimental Research I and LS 805 Experimental Research II). Students must meet with their faculty advisor and/or program director to determine which option best meets their educational goals. LS 804 Experimental Research I and LS 805 Experimental Research II are not a substitute for nor may run concurrently with practica courses.
