| Current Course Requirement for CBIP Students All students must fulfill the coursework requirements for the intended degree within the first four long semesters. Under unusual circumstances, the student may petition for one additional semester in which to complete the coursework. For the purpose of fulfilling the coursework requirements, only the courses in the Appendix are considered to be acceptable. These requirements are: (a). Ph.D. coursework requirement (21 hours) i. Home Department: Biology and Biochemistry 1. Graduate Core Courses: Ten hours of core course hours must be taken. Four of the hours must be selected from the list of Biology and Biochemistry core courses in the Appendix. The remaining six hours of core courses must be selected from the list of Chemistry courses in the Appendix. 2. Eleven hours of graduate electives must be taken. The courses can be selected from the available list of graduate elective courses in the Departments of Biology and Biochemistry, Chemistry, or from another Department or an area institution upon approval by the Major Advisor. ii. Home Department: Chemistry 1. Fifteen hours of courses must be taken, except for students who did exceptionally well in the diagnostic exams who are allowed to exempt from one course. Twelve hours of courses must be selected from the list in the Appendix according to the home division of the student. Specifically, the Organic Division requires at least two courses in Group A, one in Group B and one in Group C; the Inorganic Division and Physical Chemistry Division require at least one course in Group A, one in Group B and one in Group C. The remaining three hours of course may be selected based on the result of the diagnostic exam and recommendation of the Graduate Advisor. 2. Two courses (total of 4 credit hours) must be selected from the list of Biology and Biochemistry courses in the Appendix. The remaining two hours of courses may be selected from the list of Chemistry, and Biology and Biochemistry courses in the Appendix, or from another Department at UH or from an area institution upon approval by the Major Advisor. (b). M.S. core requirement (21 hours) The core coursework requirements for the M.S. degrees are the same as those for the Ph.D. listed above. (c). Seminar and presentation requirements CBIP students are required to attend monthly CBIP seminars throughout their entire graduate studies, and present their work in an annual retreat. The students must also satisfy all seminar requirements in their Home Department.
