MA Registration

Please note that this is a general guide to registration for the MA program. Many scenarios could happen that cause you to stray from this plan - the most common are that classes fill up and delay when you can take them or you could transfer in other graduate credit that alters what you have to take here. Please consult your PI for any specific courses they recommend and ask your Graduate Program Coordinator if you have any questions. Keep in mind when registering for Electives that you must take one (1) of the following four (4) classes as part of your degree program:

• BIO 5303 - Ecological Applications in Modern Biology (3 hours)
• BIO 5307 - Advanced Cell & Molecular Biology (3 hours)
• BIO 5310 - Advanced Microbiology (3 hours)
• BIO 5312 - Introduction to Multiomics (3 hours)

If you are trying to register for 5V90, there are permits required before you can register - please email your Graduate Program Coordinator.
