Course Information

Description

This course will track the completed required credits for the thesis project under the supervision of Harvard University faculty member. Students will choose their thesis advisor and establish a project in the fall semester of Year 1. They are expected to spend 16-20 months conducting a laboratory-based thesis project. Students will conduct mini rotations consisting of meeting with up to three PIs, talking with lab members and attending 1-2 lab meetings. Students will register for a pre-determined set number of credits ranging from 2-14 research credits/semester, until the completion of the thesis. Each semester a specific set of scaffolded requirements must be completed, and pre-determined thesis project/lab-research milestones have to be met, resulting in a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grade.
