Laboratory rotations provide an opportunity for each student to participate actively in ongoing research projects at Columbia, allowing the student to become familiar with techniques, literature and current questions in a variety of research areas. Rotations also provide an opportunity to identify a mentor with whom to pursue thesis work. Each graduate student will undertake three laboratory rotations (3–4 months in duration) during their first year. At the beginning of their second year, students choose research mentors and begin planning their thesis topics.
Rotations are from Sept – Dec., Jan. – March, April – June.
