Research Rotations

Students may elect to perform a first rotation during the summer before the first academic year. Students are required to perform research rotations during the Fall and Winter terms of the first year. Students can perform two half-semester rotations during Fall and Winter terms. With the approval of the PIBS Director, students may register for additional rotations during the Spring and Summer terms. For the most recent PIBS Curriculum and Rotation Information, visit the PIBS website.
