Cancer Biology (GDBBS)
Percentages are rounded to whole numbers and do not always add to 100. “Five Year Average” of admissions and enrollment data reflect data from 2012-13 through fall semester 2016. “Five Year Average” of degree data reflects data from 2011-12 through 2015-16.
Cancer Biology admitted its first cohort in 2011.
MD/PhD students are excluded from the Admissions entries, included in the enrollment entries (when they are enrolled in the LGS, as opposed to in the SOM), included in the number of degrees awarded (PhD only), and excluded from the time to degree and completion percentage entries.
