After completing the first-year common core course work and laboratory rotations, students choose a dissertation research mentor and enter one of nine Doctor of Philosophy majors.
Selectives: 4 Hours
Select four credit hours from the following courses:
Year Two
The Doctor of Philosophy curriculum is not lock-step; students do not graduate as a class at the end of a specific semester. The average time to degree is approximately 5 years of full-time, year-round study; acceptable duration of the program is between 3 and 7 years. The number and type of advanced (2nd year and beyond) or elective courses vary, and may include courses within the Physiology program as well as courses in other disciplines.

Elective Course Options (Minimum of five credit hours)
Additional Requirements
In addition to specific course requirements, students must complete additional PhD degree requirements, including satisfactory performance on the Comprehensive Examination, development and approval of a research proposal, writing and approval of the doctoral dissertation, and satisfactory performance on the Final Oral Examination (dissertation defense). See PhD Student Guide for additional requirements and details. The Physiology program requires students to have at least 1 accepted/published manuscript directly related to their dissertation at least five weeks prior to the students final oral examination.
