Notes

Notes Regarding Course Map:

  • This course map assumes that the student has completed all prerequisites prior to the start of the program.
  • This course map displays the minimum number of BMOL credits to enroll in for each semester. If the student needs to get to full-time (9 credits), they will add more BMOL 591 (Project) or BMOL 593 (Thesis) credits.
  • The student will work with their major advisor to determine if there are additional courses (approved electives) that are needed to help with their research topic.
