committee. The student will select a major advisor (if not admitted specifically to
a faculty member's program) and, no later than the second semester of enrollment,
select an advisory committee. For the Ph.D. student, the committee will consist of
a minimum of 4 members (including the major professor), at least 3 of which must be
from the School of Basic Pharmaceutical and Toxicological Sciences.
