In addition to meeting the requirements of the University and Colleges, students must
meet the course and program requirements specified below:
-
Three 8-week laboratory rotations during the fall/spring academic year to facilitate
selection of a thesis advisor.
-
Early starts and summer rotations are optional for new students and are only 8 weeks in duration.
-
Participation in a bi-weekly Research Forum during both semesters (students enroll
in BMS 800, BMS Research Forum, for 1 credit).
-
Students in the BMS program will be required to take 4 courses in their first two
semesters. Two of these courses must be selected from the main course list below,
using the course requirements for the Ph.D. program she/he is likely to join at the
end of the first year as a guide. The remaining 2 courses can be selected from the
main or supplemental course listings below.
Exceptions to these requirements require approval by the Director.
