Student Standing and Committees

GPA. Students will be required to follow the curriculum requirements for the PMBB Interdisciplinary Graduate Specialization, and to maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 in PMBB Graduate Specialization courses (required and electives) in accordance with Graduate School requirements.

Student Advisory Committee (SAC). New students must choose an advisor by no later than the end of their third quarter, or as early as possible, and form an Advisory Committee. The number of committee members required should follow departmental guidelines. At least two of the members of this Committee also must be members of PMBB. The membership of the Advisory Committee will be approved by the PMBB GSC as well as by the Departmental GSC.
Meetings with SAC. A student is encouraged to maintain contact with his/her SAC (for example by e-mail) throughout the year to keep the SAC updated on the coursework and research progress. In addition, a student must formally meet with his/her SAC in accordance with the rules of the student’s home department or program.

ACE and Thesis Committee. At least two members of the Admission to Candidacy Examination (ACE) Committee and of the Thesis Defense Committee must be members of PMBB. Otherwise, these committees should be formed according to departmental and Graduate School guidelines.
