Include a description of the class, how it relates to your studies, and how you will be graded (test, paper, etc.).
The elective classes that you choose must relate to molecular and cellular biology and be rigorous enough to include either a final exam or required paper for a grade. Elective classes must be at the 500 level and receive a numerical grade. Elective courses counted as MCB-required graded coursework cannot be graded as credit/no credit (C/NC). You are required to have a total of 21 graded credits (12 credits of graded, elective coursework; 9 credits of graded conjoint courses).
Under extraordinary circumstances, 400 level classes can be used for graded class work. You will need to contact Dr. Raible or Dr. Emerman requesting approval of the class.
