All students are required to take a sequence of core courses (BCH 184, BCH 210, and PHYS 246) in their first year, and complete a series of research rotations in laboratories of participating faculty under BPHY 297 as part of the thesis advisor selection process.
Participation in the Biophysics Graduate Seminar (BPHY 252) is also required for each quarter the student is enrolled; each student is expected to present a formal research seminar in this course prior to graduation.</div>
