Graduate StudyAdministration of the PMBB Interdisciplinary Graduate Specialization
Departmental and PMBB-GS Requirements. Students in each department will meet PMBB Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization course requirements (see link to curriculum), in addition to those of their degree-granting department/program. Most participating departments have different requirements for students in the Specialization. and students may also request a waiver of specific requirements by petitioning their advisory committee and presenting the approved petition to the PMBB GSC for consideration and final approval.
Student Rotations and Choice of Advisors. All new students will be strongly encouraged to rotate through two or three laboratories during their first few quarters. All rotation labs must be affiliated with PMBB. If a student intends to join the lab of a faculty member located in a department different from the department that admitted the student, then the student must apply to and be accepted by the new department and PMBB GSC.
Eligible advisors. Students can be accepted into the PMBB Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization from any department as long as their advisor is a member of PMBB and as long as that department approves the PMBB Graduate Specialization curriculum and procedures. A PMBB member whose salaried appointment is in a graduate program that does not participate in the PMBB Graduate Specialization can still advise students if he/she has a no-salaried appointment in a participating graduate program. In all cases, students must register for research credits (999) in the graduate program of a department that participates in the PMBB Graduate Specialization.
