MS and PhD Admissions
PREREQUISITES
Although students are accepted into the program with different backgrounds
and varying degrees of experience, some prerequisites are expected.
Acceptance into the program is not precluded by minor deficiencies
in background, but is conditional on these being made up before or
during the first year of study.
The specific prerequisites are:
- the equivalent of six semester credits or nine quarter credits
in medical, life or biological sciences. This a a broadly defined
requirement and most courses with a health or biology emphasis
will be accepted including biostatistics, health services research,
public health, etc as well as the more traditional biology or
life science courses.
- one year of calculus;
- a course or documented work experience in a programming or application
language such as C, C++, JAVA, Visual Basic, PASCAL, etc.
