COURSES

Auburn University offers a graduate minor in Cell and Molecular Biosciences administered by the Graduate School in cooperation with affiliated faculty of the AU-Cell and Molecular Biosciences Program. The CMB minor requires a suitable background in Biochemistry and the successful completion of at least 9 credits from the Cell and Molecular Biology graduate curriculum.

The minor offers in-depth instruction in animal, microbial and plant cell and molecular biology and is particularly designed for MS/PhD students in life sciences and allied fields whose thesis or dissertation research will benefit from a broader and enriched perspective of cell and molecular biology and bioinformatics.
