Standards for the Doctoral Degrees

Standards for the Doctoral Degrees in the Molecular Biosciences

The report Standards for the Ph.D. Degree in the Molecular Biosciences was published in 2000 and updated in 2006 to replace Standards for the Ph.D. Degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology published by the Committee in 1989. This booklet was the result of a broad international and interdisciplinary consultation that involved over 100 persons from some 35 countries. The latest version was updated in 2022.
