Students in class at the Watson School
|
The
flexible structure of the Watson School of Biological
Sciences permits the design of courses with flexible
mandates and formats.
Three core courses—Scientific
Reasoning and Logic, Scientific Exposition and Ethics, and Research Topics—span
the fall course term and are designed to help students develop the analytical
skills required of today’s biologists. The courses designated as
Specialized Disciplines in Biology are four weeks long and allow students
to explore well-defined research fields in depth. Each course is taught
by a small team of faculty who work closely together to develop and present
a well-organized and cohesive course.
The intensive one-week Topics in Biology courses broaden the educational
program by offering instruction in areas of biology outside the expertise
of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s faculty.
Lastly, the two or three-week postgraduate courses offered by the Laboratory
allow students to participate in the lectures offered in a long-standing
and highly regarded series of advanced-level courses.
Thus, a Ph.D. student participates in a total of 13 lecture courses:
the three core courses, three Specialized Disciplines in Biology courses,
four Topics in Biology courses, and three Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
postgraduate-course lecture series.
