Biology Grad Students Organization (BGSO
The cell is the basis of life. To understand the function of organisms, it is essential
to know how cells function and communicate at the molecular level. Technological
advances in the past 20 years are staggering, allowing scientists to peer into cells
and gain knowledge of function at levels never thought possible. The CMM Division
at USF offers cutting edge research labs specializing in cell biology, microbiology
and molecular biology.
Degrees offered
- Thesis Based PhD and MS degrees. These degrees are research based
and require a written thesis in addition to coursework and Examinations. Research
is carried out under the direction of a faculty member of the student's choosing.
Coursework is tailored to each student's interests and needs.
- Non-Thesis MS degree. This degree is based on coursework, although
it does require a written review of a subject chosen by the student.
