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
- Three BME courses for MS; Five BME courses from three areas for PhD
Lists of courses satisfying the core curriculum can be found in the booklet Policies and Regulations Governing Graduate Students. For doctoral students, in addition to the core, there is a distribution requirement. Including the BME course in the core curriculum, this consists of at least one course from three of the five different educational programs listed below. Graduate level courses given by other departments and schools may be substituted for courses in this list with the permission of the director of graduate studies.
