Thirty (30) credits of graduate work must be completed for the 4+1 non-thesis M.S. degree. Research is optional. You will need 22 core course credits without research credits or 16 core course credits with research credits. Complete at least ONE course from each of the four core areas: Endocrinology, Physiology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, and Statistics and Experimental Design. Up to two 300-level and/or 400-level courses (6-8 credits) taken during the third or fourth year of undergraduate study (or in the +1 year with a 'G' prefix) can be counted toward the graduate-level requirements if those credits are not counted toward the undergraduate degree. You must complete the Transfer of Credit Application on the SGS forms website . Students must maintain a grade point average of B or better. A maximum of two courses with grades of C can be counted toward the degree.
