On This Page. Major-Specific Policies Prior Coursework Graduate Work from Other Institutions With program approval, up to 9 credits of coursework may be accepted from other graduate institutions. UW—Madison Undergraduate For well-prepared advanced students, the program may decide to accept up to 6 credits numbered or above completed at UW—Madison toward fulfillment of minimum degree and minor credit requirements. UW—Madison University Special The program may decide to accept up to 9 University Special student credits as fulfillment of the minimum graduate residence, graduate degree, or minor credit requirements on occasion as an exception on a case-by-case basis.
Probation The Graduate School regularly reviews the record of any student who earned grades of BC, C, D, F, or Incomplete in a graduate course or above , or grade of U in research credits. The student should first talk with the person at whom the complaint is directed.
Most issues can be settled at this level. Others may be resolved by established departmental procedures. If the student is unsatisfied, and the complaint involves any unit outside CALS, the student should seek the advice of the dean or director of that unit to determine how to proceed. If the complaint involves an academic department in CALS the student should proceed in accordance with item 3 below.
If the grievance involves a unit in CALS that is not an academic department, the student should proceed in accordance with item 4 below. The grievance advisor will attempt to resolve the problem informally within 10 working days of receiving the complaint, in discussions with the student and the person at whom the complaint is directed. If informal mediation fails, the student can submit the grievance in writing to the grievance advisor within 10 working days of the date the student is informed of the failure of the mediation attempt by the grievance advisor.
The grievance advisor will provide a copy to the person at whom the grievance is directed. The grievance advisor will refer the complaint to a department committee that will obtain a written response from the person at whom the complaint is directed, providing a copy to the student. Either party may request a hearing before the committee. The grievance advisor will provide both parties a written decision within 20 working days from the date of receipt of the written complaint. If the grievance involves the department chairperson, the grievance advisor or a member of the grievance committee, these persons may not participate in the review.
If not satisfied with departmental action, either party has 10 working days from the date of notification of the departmental committee action to file a written appeal to the CALS Equity and Diversity Committee. A subcommittee of this committee will make a preliminary judgement as to whether the case merits further investigation and review. If the subcommittee unanimously determines that the case does not merit further investigation and review, its decision is final.
If one or more members of the subcommittee determine that the case does merit further investigation and review, the subcommittee will investigate and seek to resolve the dispute through mediation.
If this mediation attempt fails, the subcommittee will bring the case to the full committee. The committee may seek additional information from the parties or hold a hearing. The committee will present a written recommendation to the dean who will provide a final decision within 20 working days of receipt of the committee recommendation. The dean will attempt to resolve the problem informally within 10 working days of receiving the complaint. If this mediation attempt does not succeed the student may file a written complaint with the dean who will refer it to the CALS Equity and Diversity Committee.
The committee will seek a written response from the person at whom the complaint is directed, subsequently following other steps delineated in item 3d above. Other We offer funding to all students in the program through fellowships, trainees and research assistantships. Graduate School Resources Take advantage of the Graduate School's professional development resources to build skills, thrive academically, and launch your career.
Program Resources In order to better train MDTP students for microbiology-related professions, students need a chance to gain knowledge and experience not just in academic research, but also in other fields where their microbiology education may be put to good use. Gain a broad understanding of the microbiology principles that underlie all biological processes. Articulate, discuss and define limits to the theory and knowledge in microbiology.
Think critically to address research challenges using a broad range of the theories, research methods, and approaches to scientific inquiry.
Communicates complex ideas in a clear and understandable matter. Collaborate with investigators within the program, university, and beyond to advance the science of microbiology. Foster professional and ethical conduct in the sciences. Ethical design of experimental protocols. Reproducibility of experimental results. Professional behavior in industrial, government and academic settings.
Develop communication skills that enable the articulation of research to fellow scientists and non-scientists. Develop teaching and mentoring skills in both lecture and laboratory settings. Explore career development opportunities in industry, government, academia and private industry to realize professional goals.
Microbiology, Doctoral Minor Microbiology, M. Microbiology, Ph. The Graduate School requires an average grade of B or better in all coursework or above, not including research credits taken as a graduate student unless conditions for probationary status require higher grades.
