Potential MS or PhD students must access the Department of Kinesiology and Community Health website to find out more about graduate admission requirements. Please contact Julie Jenkins in the Department of Kinesiology and Community Health if you have specific questions regarding admission requirements. If you are interested in learning more about graduate research opportunities in the MMP Laboratory, please contact Prof. Marni Boppart. 

II. Undergraduate Research
Undergraduates are welcome upon invitation to complete independent research projects in the laboratory as KIN 385 or MCB 290 credit. Most students begin at the beginning of their sophomore year and register for 3 credit hours (= 9-12 hours/week). Requirements to begin independent research include completion of KIN150 or MCB 250/251, high GPA, good work ethic, enthusiasm, and/or permission from Prof. Marni Boppart. 

Most students spend the first semester learning cellular and molecular biology techniques in the laboratory. Once mastered, students are able to begin their own research project. If you are interested in learning more about undergraduate research opportunities in the MMP Laboratory, please contact Prof. Marni Boppart.
