Students in graduate and professional programs can find their Academic Policies in Graduate and Professional Academic Standards and Regulations under their school. Any additional University Policies supercede school policies.

Learning Outcomes

MS CaMP students will be able to demonstrate ability in:

• Gaining a general knowledge base in the biomedical sciences
• Acquisition of deeper knowledge of past and current scientific literature in a more specific field within physiology (i.e., in the chosen track of study)
• Ability to form hypotheses and to design and perform appropriate experiments to test these hypothesis
• Acquisition of oral and written communication skills for scientific peers and general audiences
