Doctor's degree Macromolecular Science - Case Western Reserve University

Doctor's degree Macromolecular Science from Case Western Reserve University is a Campus Ph.D Microbiology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The Ph.D. Program consists of 36 hours of coursework including the departmental core courses and 18 credit hours of Ph.D. thesis (EMAC 701/702) are required for the Ph.D. degree , in addition to passing the research qualifying exam (oral proposal) and the written qualifying exam. Of the coursework credit requirements, the core courses are designated as ?depth? courses (12 credits). In addition, all students, will take a minimum of two breadth courses in basic science and/or other departments in the School of Engineering (for a total of six credits). The remaining breadth requirements (up to 18 credits) are satisfied by course modules taken in Macromolecular Science and Engineering. Each doctoral student is responsible for becoming sufficiently familiar with the research interests of the department or program faculty to choose in a timely manner a faculty member who will serve as the student's research advisor. The research adviser is expected to provide mentorship in research conception, methods, performance and ethics, as well as focus on development of the student's professional communication skills, building professional contacts in the field, and fostering the professional behavior standard of the field and research in general. The research adviser also assists with the selection of three other faculty to serve as the required additional members of the dissertation advisory committee. This committee must be formed within the second semester following admission. Throughout the development and completion of the dissertation, these members are expected to provide constructive criticism and helpful ideas generated by the research problem from the viewpoint of their particular expertise. Each member will make an assessment of the originality of the dissertation, its value, the contribution it makes, and the clarity with which concepts are communicated, especially to a person outside the field. The doctoral student is expected to arrange meetings and maintain periodic contact with each committee member. A meeting of the full committee for the purpose of assessing the student's progress should occur at least once a year until the completion of the dissertation. For students entering the Ph.D. program with a M.S. degree, 18, instead of 36 credit hours of coursework is required. Other requirements for a Ph.D. remain the same as described above. Normally students should orient their training around their main area of interest/expertise and in relation to their research program. For those enrolled in the M.D./Ph.D. degree program, all 18 course credits for breadth and depth courses must be taken within the Medical School Program.
