MCDB 902 (Fall) & MCDB903 (Spring) Advanced Graduate Seminar

This course will allow students to present their dissertation work annually giving them practice in presenting their work.  Students will be required to present every year beginning their third year in the MCDB program. However, students who are defending their dissertation during a RIP class semester are not required to present, but must still attend. Each MCDB graduate student will be required to attend at least 80% of the class sessions in order to receive a Pass in this course. Two faculty members will co-direct the course, attend the seminars, and provide feedback to the students.
