Craig Beeson, Ph.D., Chair (beesonc@musc.edu)
The Progress Committee is charged with monitoring the academic progress of all graduate students enrolled in the First Year Curriculum. Students are required to maintain the academic standards set forth in the MUSC Bulletin and the Biomedical Sciences First Year Curriculum Guide. The Committee may recommend improvements in performance or remediation following thorough review of all relevant material and circumstances presented by the student, the course director, and faculty. In addition, the Progress Committee members consult with students regarding their choices of laboratory rotations and dissertation lab. Students are required to meet with their Committee member advisor before selection of their first lab rotation, at the end of the fall and spring semester, and at any other time requested by the advisor or the student. All Unit grades in CGS 701/702, Selective grades, and rotation assignments are forwarded to the Progress Committee.
