Sample Courses in the Life Science Competency Area
Courses provide graduate training in biology, anatomy, and/or physiology – chosen in consultation with mentoring committee to be most appropriate for each student’s research interests.
- Not Approved: Courses that can't be utilized to meet competency requirements
- BME Sample Courses
- Quantitative/Analytical Sample Courses
- Other Related Graduate Training (PhD Only)
- Regulatory Affairs and Professional Skills Sample Courses (Professional MS only)
-
Other or Graduate Electives for Specialization (Thesis MS and Professional MS only)
- There are no sample courses for these requirements as they can be any grad level course that makes sense for your professional goals
