A minimum of thirty semester hours determined by the Student's advisory committee are required; at least twenty-one semester hours must be in the major area of concentration. At least one-half of all credit hours applied toward the minimum degree requirement must be earned in 6000-, 7000- and 8000-level courses, which are courses for only graduate students.

Students must take a minimum of six semester hours of core course work consisting of courses in two of the following four categories: biochemistry, statistics, biophysics and molecular biology.

Students must register for a minimum of four semester hours for "Research and Thesis" (VBMS 7990). However, no more than six hours of VBMS 7990 may be counted toward meeting minimum degree requirements. Students may register for one or more hours of VBMS 7990 at a time.

Up to six semester hours of VBMS 7970 "Research Problems", which must be distinct from the student's thesis research topic, may be counted toward meeting minimum degree requirements.

Up to two semester hours of graded seminar courses may be counted toward meeting minimum degree requirements.
