in our MS, PhD and Postdoc program as well as our NIH training grant. Many</span><span style="font-family:Calibri"> </span><span style="font-family:Calibri">of our students come to us with a strong background in biological sciences, particularly if they are
interested in a research career or are thinking about next steps after graduation. </span><span style="font-family:Calibri"> </span><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman'"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Our programs are not clinical, but rather are purely
scientific and research driven. </font><span style="font-family:calibri,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:calibri,sans-serif"> </span></font></font><span style="font-size:12px; color:rgb(147,17,0); font-family:calibri,sans-serif">At USC, students
will thrive in an integrated curriculum that includes mentoring, scientific advancement, academic career development, publication and grantsmanship. Students have the opportunity to work with one or more of 40 USC faculty mentors from USC's Ostrow School
of Dentistry, Keck School of Medicine of USC, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Coursework is taught through symposiums, seminars, clinical research centers and collaborative research. Mentors are committed to helping students attain the skills necessary
to successfully transition from scholar to independent investigator working in an academic or corporate environment.</span><span style="font-size:12px; color:rgb(147,17,0); font-family:calibri,sans-serif"> </span></div>
