The specific courses taken by any student will be determined by that student's needs and interests, in consultation with an advisory committee. Some students will be required to take additional, preparatory computer science classes. All students must take at least one graduate course in computer science. In consultation with their advisor, students choose a minimum of two advanced electives . The interdisciplinary nature of the program allows considerable flexibility in choosing these courses, and sometimes more than two courses may be recommended, depending upon the student's needs.
Students enroll in a minimum of an additional two special topics courses .
This is a new course that we plan to offer next year. Three topics will be covered in detail each semester, on a continuous basis, using lecturers drawn from the entire Computational Biology faculty. All graduate students are encouraged to begin attending relevant journal clubs in their first year of study and to continue participating on a regular and active basis throughout their graduate careers.
