==Graduate Courses ==
* From here out -- those that must take a Responsible Conduct of Research Training course should take UN0500. The UN0500 course is a fee (nominal) only course and does not have any credits associated with it other than fulfilling a requirement for graduation for Responsible Conduct of Research Training. All of the other options are more time consuming and involve over $1000 course fee.
