Master of Science (M.Sc.) Pathology (Thesis)
Graduates can directly enter rewarding careers in research, or opt to continue with their studies and obtain a Ph.D. Some combine their research training with subsequent training in medicine, law, or business administration.
All students must take PATH 300 plus a course in statistics if they have not completed these requirements before admission. Candidates with insufficient background in one of the biomedical sciences will be required to take specific courses to remedy the deficiency. These and additional courses that are relevant to the student's area of research will be chosen in consultation with the research director and Graduate Students Committee. This program consists of Thesis Courses (30 credits) - PATH 690 M.Sc. Thesis Research Project 1 (9 credits); PATH 691 M.Sc. Thesis Research Project 2 (9 credits); PATH 692 M.Sc. Thesis Research Project 3 (12 credits); Required Courses (6 credits) - PATH 620 Research Seminar 1 (3 credits); PATH 622 Research Seminar 2 (3 credits); and Complementary Courses (9 credits) - 3 credits, one of the following courses: PATH 613 Research Topics in Pathology 1 (3 credits); PATH 614 Research Topics in Pathology 2 (3 credits). 6 credits, two 500-, 600-, or 700-level courses offered by the Department; subject to approval of the research director and Graduate Students Committee, up to 3 credits of 500-, 600-, or 700-level credits may be taken in another department.
