Research rotations provide an opportunity for each student to experience the research environment in several different labs. These experiences are critical for choosing an appropriate lab/mentor for one's dissertation work.

Students must complete at least three lab rotations in three different labs prior to joining a dissertation lab*.

*A student may join a lab after two rotations if a student can document that they have extensive research experience prior to joining GBS. To forego the third rotation, the student must have identified a lab to join and discussed the options with their Theme Director(s).

Note: This is only a request for a rotation waiver. You will receive confirmation or denial of your request within 2 weeks of submission.

If you have any further questions, please contact the GBS Program Administrator.
