 MEDICAL SCIENCES-GENERAL

 (College of Medicine)
 Programs leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the basic medical
sciences with a major in immunology and medical microbiology, neuro-
science, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology are offered by the College
of Medicine. In addition, a program in radiation biophysics leading to a
Master of Science degree is available. Training in these scientific disciplines
is planned to prepare the student for a career in research and teaching,
rather than in clinical practice, for which the Doctor of Medicine degree
program is designed. A minor is not required but may be chosen in another
of the basic sciences listed below or elsewhere in the Catalog. All facilities
of the College of Medicine are available to graduate students in this program.
Though an undergraduate major in biological or physical science is desirable,
concentration in mathematics or engineering is an appropriate foundation
for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in medical sciences. Satisfactory com-
