This
degree is under the jurisdiction of the Graduate School. Students should
also refer to the Requirements for Graduation and the Graduate School
section for general regulations. All courses applied toward the degree
must be courses accepted by the Graduate School.
The
Master of Science degree in craniofacial biology offers the clinician (D.D.S.,
M.D., or equivalent) the opportunity to obtain clinical research
knowledge and skills in the area of craniofacial biology. Such training
will include research into the causes of craniofacial diseases and
anomalies, as well as normal development and function. The course of
study is particularly directed toward those clinicians committed to
pursuing a career in research and teaching.
Degree
Requirements
A
total of 32 units is required that includes eight courses in
craniofacial biology, four units of 594ab Thesis and necessary units of
590 Thesis Research. All students must achieve a 3.0 grade point average
in the craniofacial biology courses. Four core courses in craniofacial
biology are required for all students: CBY 574, CBY 579, CBY 585 and CBY
671. The four remaining courses required may be selected from any
offered by the craniofacial biology program and selected by the students
and their mentors to best support their research interests. All students
are required to complete a thesis based on the student's research
following a thesis protocol approved by a committee of craniofacial
biology faculty. An advisory committee, comprising the research advisor
and two additional faculty members, will establish thesis requirements
to be completed by the student.
