Two semesters of teaching experience is required and is obtained through participation in the department's teaching programs. A
preliminary examination, usually oral, is required prior to admission to final candidacy for the degree. All candidates prepare a
formal dissertation reflecting original thought and independent laboratory investigation and defend it during an oral presentation
as a final step toward their degree. Publication of data from the dissertation in the peer-reviewed, scientific literature is
expected. Non-thesis option offered.
