Courses available to graduate students in Molecular Biosciences. Some courses are required of all students, including the first year core curriculum. For specific program requirements after the first year and availability of courses, students are advised to consult with the program directors as not all courses are offered every year! In addition, students are strongly encouraged to select courses from a range of programs in order to meet their personal training goals. Note that students are not limited to taking courses in the program in which they are enrolled! (see NOTE below explaining program names and numbers!)
The courses listed below are available to ALL students in Molecular Biosciences As noted, some programs require specific courses. Consult program websites or GPDs!
