UMBC: An Honors University in Maryland  

Possible MOCB Curricula

Example: Focus on development
"Core Curriculum"
CHEM437 4 cr Comprehensive Biochemistry I

CHEM638

4 cr Comprehensive Biochemistry II
BIOL611 4 cr Bacterial Physiology
BIOL626 4 cr Approaches to Molecular Biology
BIOL634 4 cr Microbial Molecular Genetics
Electives
BIOL620 4 cr Advanced Topics in Cell Biology

Remember!

We will waive required courses for students who have received graduate credits for comparable courses from other institutions. Students with a M.S. degree in a relevant area of biology may have few courses to complete for the degree (dependent on satisfying requirements or gaining needed training directly relevant to their research here at UMBC.)
