Graduate Curriculum
 
Core Curriculum

A core curriculum that must be satisfied by all graduate students consists of the following:

    * Two graduate level courses in life sciences
    * One graduate level course in mathematics
    * One graduate level course in computer science
    * BME courses as specified below.

For M.S. students the core curriculum requires at least three courses selected from the following list. For doctoral students at least five courses from the list must be selected and three must be from different IBME programs. Other graduate level course given by other departments and schools may be substituted for courses in this list with the permission of the department chair.
