02-03 LS&A Bulletin

Cell and Molecular Biology and Biomedical Engineering Honors Program (B.S. and M.S.)

May be elected as a departmental concentration program

Prerequisites to Concentration. BIOLOGY 162; CHEM 210, 211, 215, 216; MATH 115 and 116; PHYSICS 140/141 and 240/241.

  1. Undergraduate Concentration Program (BS Phase) (50 credits).
    1. Biology Core courses. BIOLOGY 305; BIOLOGY 310 or 311; MCDB 306; MCDB 427; MCDB 428 or BIOMEDE 418.
    2. Advanced Chemistry/Chemical Engineering: ChemE 230, 330; CHEM 241-242, and either ChemE 342 or 344.
    3. Advanced Cell and Molecular Biology: One course (such as MCDB 405, 406, 407, 411, 413, 418, 419, 422, 423, 426, 430, 435, 436, 469, 513, and 523) selected in consultation with and approved by the program advisors. (MCDB 429 and BIOMEDE 584 are elected in the graduate phase, and do not count toward this requirement).
    4. Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering: ENGR 101 and BIOMEDE 419.
    5. Electives: Nine credits, chosen in consultation with and approved by the program advisors. One course in Evolution, Ecology, or Organismal Biology is strongly encouraged, as is undergraduate research.
    6. Cognates:
      • Statistics: STAT 400.
      • Mathematics: MATH 215 and 216.
  2. MS (Graduate) Phase (24 Credits).
    1. Advanced Cell and Molecular Biology: MCDB 429 and BIOMEDE 584.
    2. Graduate Biomedical Engineering Core: BIOMEDE 500, 550, and 590.
    3. Graduate Engineering: (7 credits), chosen in consultation with the program advisor.
    4. One advanced Mathematics course (3 credits), chosen in consultation with the program advisor.
    5. One advanced Statistics course (3 credits), chosen in consultation with the program advisor.

Advising. Upon acceptance into the program, each student will be assigned two advisors, one in MCDB and one in Biomedical Engineering. Student course selections must be approved by both advisors each term.

MS phase. A student is typically admitted into the MS phase at the end of the third year when the student achieves senior standing. The student must have completed at least all concentration prerequisites and be judged by both academic advisors as making adequate progress toward the B.S. At this time, the student must formally apply to the Rackham Graduate School for the MS program in Biomedical Engineering. All students with a 3.2 GPA or higher in the BS concentration phase will automatically be admitted into the MS phase. Other CMB students who have reached senior standing with a 3.2 GPA or higher and have fulfilled all concentration prerequisites, but did not previously apply or were not admitted in the BS phase, can also apply for admittance into the MS phase. Students with senior standing will have two years to mix undergraduate and graduate courses, simultaneously fulfilling requirement for both the BS and MS degrees. Students will be charged graduate tuition for only one academic year.
