Overview
The Biology program from University of Missouri–St. Louis is designed to provide research experience and training appropriate for advanced positions in academic research and teaching, government and public agencies, and industry.
Dissertation Proposal
- All students must present a written dissertation proposal to their dissertation committee and defend it orally no later than the end of the summer following their third year, but preferably earlier.
- The proposal is not a contract, but is designed to give the student extensive feedback on the design and feasibility of the proposed dissertation project; it will be most valuable if conducted before the student has invested considerable time and money in the project.
- A student who fails to complete the proposal defense on schedule will be placed on academic probation for one term, and risks being dismissed from the graduate program.
