Biomedical Sciences Curriculum
BMS Students take the Core Courses (BIOM 200A and B) and Seminar in Biomedical Research (BIOM 201) in the Fall of their first year. Students select three Track Courses in the Winter and Spring quarter. Students from all tracks take Biostatistics and Ethics in Research in the Spring and complete Laboratory Rotations in each quarter of the first year.
Students may take elective courses at any time, but must complete 15 units (8 for a letter grade) prior to graduation. Track Courses not required by the students own track may be taken as electives.
