The Program does not offer a master’s degree.
The Cellular and Molecular Pathology Graduate Program offers the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Cellular and Molecular Pathology.
The CMP Program has no direct admissions policy. Applicants apply to CMP through one of the following two mechanisms:
Admission to the program is primarily through UCLA ACCESS to Programs in Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Life Sciences. Information may be obtained from UCLA ACCESS, 172 MBI, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1570, (310) 206-6051; http://www.uclaaccess.ucla.edu
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine also offers two M.D/Ph.D. programs concurrently with the School of Medicine:
The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). in which candidates are medical students that have been accepted into MSTP by the medical school in order to qualify. Typically, trainees begin in their thesis labs by September of the third year of medical school and complete their Ph.D. degree in three to four years.
The second is the Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program in which candidates are post-M.D. house staff (interns, residents, or fellows) who have been accepted into the STAR Program by its selection committee in order to qualify.
