Student Rotations

Students in the Molecular Biology cluster perform at least two lab rotations before identifying the lab in which they will pursue their doctoral research: the rotations familiarize students with what it is like to actually work in the labs they are interested in, to help them make an informed decision about which lab they would like to join. Rotations in winter or spring quarter are ten weeks; two rotations of five weeks each may be done in summer quarter. The two required rotations count as one of the nine required courses.
