Overview

The Master's in Cell and Molecular Biology programme offered by Tulane University is more than just another year of classes, and offers many advantages over other programs.

These are among the reasons the CMB Master’s program is unique:

The program focuses on professional development.

Professional Speaker Series: Healthcare is provided by a broad array of professionals. Representatives of these professions speak about education and training, their responsibilities, and the opportunities available in their profession. As examples, we discuss the training, responsibilities, income, and employment potential of physician assistants, physical therapists, and the whole array of opportunities in nursing.

Cultivating Communication Skills: Clinicians and scientists both need to communicate effectively with other professionals as well as the general public. Communication skills will be cultivated through student presentations in research seminars and Journal Clubs.

Mentoring and Advising: Each students communicates regularly with an assigned faculty member, who closely monitors their progress. Our faculty works with each student's unique strengths and weaknesses to assist them in meeting their career goals.

MCAT, DAT and GRE preparation classes, conducted by KAPLAN instructors, are incorporated into the curriculum.

KAPLAN test preparation classes are held during the spring semester.

The cost for the KAPLAN classes is included in the students' tuition.

Student will complete 50 hours of service learning and shadowing at local hospitals, clinics, coroners' offices, research labs, and other locations around New Orleans per semester.

Locations are selected to provide experiences which will enhance career preparation and provide direct contact with patients and healthcare providers.
