First Year Curriculum courses are shown below for purposes of registration. Most students matriculating into the Ph.D. degree program in August enroll in the full curriculum. Medical Scientist Training Program (M.D.,Ph.D.) students enroll in Essential Scientific Practices I and II (CGS 710 and CGS 711) and selected Units in CGS 701 and 702. Dental Medicine Scientist Training Program (D.M.D., Ph.D.) students enroll in Essential Scientific Practices I (CGS 710). Biometry Ph.D. program students enroll in Essential Scientific Practices I and, depending on their program requirements, may enroll in all or part of the remainder of the curriculum. Students in M.S. degree programs enroll in all or part of the curriculum to satisfy the requirements of their individual M.S. programs. Non-degree students may enroll in all or part of the curriculum on a space-available basis.
