The Graduate School-New Brunswick and the University of Medicine
and Dentistry of New Jersey-Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
offer a shared interdisciplinary core curriculum in molecular and cell
biology. The core curriculum provides new course offerings and
fellowship support to qualified students who want to pursue Ph.D.
degrees in the Consolidated Graduate Programs in Molecular Biosciences.
Students enrolled in molecular and cell biology are expected to
follow the curriculum outlined below in their first year of study.
Subsequently, they are expected to proceed in one of the participating
degree-granting programs. The core curriculum courses are to be
integrated into the requirements of the program in which the student
earns the degree. This curriculum is followed by all students in the
molecular biosciences programs.
