Graduate Student Orientation

A Graduate Program Subcommittee is responsible for guiding you through your initial coursework and research rotation choices. This Committee organizes an orientation for incoming students during August of each year to ensure that you understand the Program procedures and expectations. This orientation will begin on the Monday before classes start. You will receive information about the University of Nebraska, the Graduate School, and life in Lincoln. You will then have a guidance interview with the Graduate Program Subcommittee to learn about the program in Biochemistry. This meeting will help you choose courses for the first semester and advise you about the registration process. Finally, presentations by each faculty member about their research will give you an overview of the active research areas in Biochemistry and help you think about choosing a research mentor (thesis advisor).
