The Graduate School Departments and Course Descriptions Areas of Concentration: Graduate studies may be pursued in any area of Cell and/or Molecular Biology, including the study of various aspects of cell function, structure, metabolism, and chemical functions on, within, and between cells; the study of biomolecular interactions; the relationships between biomolecular reactions and observed cellular properties; molecular genetics, protein chemistry, biological structures; as well as the use of molecular detection methods to detect or characterize biological states in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, systematics, forensics, or health care. Admission to Degree Program: All applicants must have a B.A. or B.S. in a basic or applied science. Applicants must present Graduate Record Examination scores for the Verbal and Quantitative tests, and the GRE writing instrument. For admission, a student must have a sponsoring faculty member. The sponsoring faculty member will submit probable thesis subjects to the Program Committee prior to acceptance of the student. Once an applicant has been approved by the Program Committee, applications are forwarded to the Graduate School for application for admission to the Graduate School. Admitted and sponsored students will be responsible for the Graduate School’s application fee unless paid by the department of the sponsoring faculty member. Requirements for the Master of Science Degree: For the M.S. degree, the Graduate School and/or the program requires 30 semester hours, a comprehensive examination, a cumulative GPA of 3.00, and a minimum residence of 30 weeks. Any student who receives a grade of “F” in any graduate-level course will be subject to dismissal following review by the Program Advisroy Committee. All candidates for the M.S. must complete a minimum of 24 hours of post-baccalaureate graduate credits not including seminar and thesis credit hours (18 hours plus CHEM 5813 and CHEM 5843) in Cell and Molecular Biology-approved courses and 6 hours of thesis research. In addition, all candidates must enroll every fall and spring semester in a Cell and Molecular Biology designated seminar course. Graduate advisory and thesis committees will consist of at least three program faculty representing at least two different departments. With the approval of the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee, up to 6 hours of alternative graduate courses may be used to satisfy the 24 hours of course work. All M.S. candidates must complete a thesis based on their research and pass a comprehensive oral examination based on the thesis. Examination and approval of the thesis is by the student’s Graduate Thesis Committee. In addition, all candidates must give a public presentation of their thesis work as part of the Cell and Molecular Biology seminar course during their final semester. Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree: Candidates for the Ph.D. must complete 18 hours of dissertation research. Students wishing to bypass the M.S. for a Ph.D. must complete a minimum of 24 hours of course work in Cell and Molecular Biology approved course work and a minimum of 18 hours of dissertation research. In addition, all candidates must enroll every fall and spring semester in a Cell and Molecular Biology designated seminar course. Graduate advisory and thesis committees will consist of at least three program faculty representing at least two different departments. With the approval of the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee, up to 6 hours of alternative graduate courses may be used to satisfy the 24 hours of course work. Any student who receives a grade of “D” or “F” in any graduate-level course will be subject to dismissal following review by the Program Advisory Committee. Any student receiving more than two grades of “C” in courses of two or more credit hours is no longer eligible for the Ph.D., but may elect to complete an M.S. degree in the program. All Ph.D. students must complete the Candidacy Examination. The Candidacy Examination for the Ph.D. will consist of the writing of an original research proposal using the guidelines for a federally funded post-doctoral fellowship (e.g., NIH, NSF, USDA) and an oral examination over the proposal, related subjects, and general knowledge. The written and oral portions of the candidacy examination must be completed within the Ph.D. candidate’s first two calendar years in this program. Students in the Ph.D. track will, in collaboration with their Graduate Advisory University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Committee, select a topic and format for their research proposal within the first year in the program. The proposal topic is to be within the field of Cell and Molecular Biology but on a subject distinct from the student’s Ph.D. research. The written proposal is submitted to the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee for evaluation and approval or rejection. Students may submit the proposal more than once. Upon completion of an approved proposal the candidate must then pass an oral examination by the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee covering the proposal, related subjects as determined by the examining committee, and general knowledge relevant to research in Cell and Molecular Biology. Only upon satisfactory completion of the proposal and oral examination, as judged by the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee, does a student become a candidate for the Ph.D. Students who fail to complete the candidacy examination in the allotted time will be dropped from the Ph.D. program but may choose to become candidates for the M.S. The Ph.D. is granted not only for fulfillment of technical requirements but also for development and possession of critical and creative thought abilities in the areas of Cell and Molecular Biology. Evidence of these abilities is given through the completion of a dissertation. The student’s Graduate Dissertation Committee will evaluate the dissertation and conduct an oral Final Examination of the candidate over the dissertation and any other subject matter deemed appropriate by the committee. Administration of the final oral defense will follow the Graduate School guidelines outlined in the Graduate Catalog. Prior to the Final Examination, the Ph.D. candidate will present a public seminar as part of the Cell and Molecular Biology seminar course during the student’s final semester.
