Graduate Courses

Each student must demonstrate proficiency in the four core areas of Endocrinology, Integrated Physiology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, and Statistics. In consultation with their advisor and committee, students may select from the following list of core-area courses or choose other Rutgers or UMDNJ courses to establish proficiency in each area. (Twelve undergraduate credits at the 300 and 400 level may be taken and applied toward the degree. Be sure to register with a G prefix if you want an undergraduate course to count toward degree credits.) In addition to core-area courses, students may select from an extensive list of other courses offered through Animal Sciences and other university departments. See the online Schedule of Classes for class time and availability.
