Overview

Features

Students in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program from The University of Maine may choose from biomedical research areas such as cell regulatory systems, protein biochemistry, molecular immunology, cellular and molecular toxicology, microbiology, and genomics.

Programme Structure

Coursework

The formal coursework is flexible and takes into account the student’s goals in research, career objectives, and the content and quality of the student’s undergraduate preparation.

Thirty credits (at the 400-600 level) are required for the thesis-based MS or PhD degree, typically about half in formal coursework and half in BMB 699, which is the course designator for graduate thesis research/writing.
