Concentration: Genomics (Code: GEO)

Program of Study

You should complete your program of study electronically using Archivum at https://usf.appiancloud.com/.

Information on how to use Archivum is available on the Archivum Student Resources page. You may use the program of study links below as a reference.  Note: You may choose a program of study that corresponds to the academic year of your admission or any year thereafter.  Please see the guidelines below.

titleUSF Guidelines on Choosing a Program of Study

The USF Tampa Graduate Catalog, including college and program requirements, and program and course descriptions, is available on the web at http://www.grad.usf.edu. Each Catalog is published and in effect for the academic term(s) noted on the title page.

Student’s Program Degree Requirements

In order to graduate, students must meet all requirements specified in the USF Catalog of their choice, except as noted below. As the University is dynamic, changes and updates to the catalog are anticipated. In contract to program requirements, which are tied to a specific catalog, all students must comply with University policies and procedures that come into effect each catalog year.

  • Students cannot choose a USF Catalog published prior to admission (or readmission) or during an academic year in which they did not complete at least two terms. If a student is dropped from the system and must be reinstated, the student’s choice of Catalog is limited to the USF Catalog in effect at the time of readmission or any one Catalog published during their continuous re-enrollment.
  • If state law or certification requirements change, the student must comply with the most current standard or criteria.
  • If the College or Department makes fundamental changes to the program that necessitates changes in the degree requirements of enrolled students, the needs of those students will be explicitly addressed in the proposal for change and scrutinized by the Office of Graduate Studies.
  • USF policies and procedures not related to degree requirements such as academic grievance procedures, student conduct code and other procedural processes and definitions may be updated each year and the student will be held to the most current catalog and procedures available.
  • USF does not commit itself to offer all the courses, programs, and majors listed in this Catalog. If the student cannot meet all of the graduation requirements specified in the Catalog of choice as a result of decisions and changes made by the University, appropriate substitutions will be determined by the program to ensure that the student is not penalized.

 

Competencies

Delivery: Traditional

The MSPH concentration in Genomics is designed for students who seek an individualized, research-oriented program.  This concentration provides an intense research and technical program of study for science-oriented students with an interest in genomics.  Individualized courses of study are determined for students with the cooperation of an advisory committee, which allows students to receive specialized training in a broad variety of genomics related topics that intersect with public health.  This concentration focuses on preparing students to fulfill leadership and research roles that incorporate genomic technologies into research and practice settings in order to improve health and healthcare.  Several course offerings and areas of emphasis allow for flexibility in tailoring a program that meets each students' needs. The MSPH culminates with an independent thesis requirement which requires a substantial time commitment on the part of the student. The thesis work involves extensive one on one interaction between the student, their thesis advisor and their thesis committee.  Preference for admission is given to students with a background or demonstrated skills in the biological sciences and a clear vision related to their educational and career goals.

Master's Progression Policy
