Doctoral Subject Core
A two-subject core is required of all doctoral students.

Biological Engineering Core:

• 20.420J Principles of Molecular Bioengineering
• 20.440 Analysis of Biological Networks

Academic Program Restricted Electives
To enhance depth and breadth, the core subjects are supplemented by electives in science and/or engineering. The student in consultation with the advisor chooses four elective subjects. Elective subjects in three categories are acceptable upon approval by advisor and, for the subjects not listed here, the BE Graduate Program Chair.

1- Biological Engineering Electives — Any Two Graduate Level Course 20 Subjects

2- Engineering/Science — One Subject

To provide breadth in engineering or science, at least one graduate-level subject approved by the BE Graduate Program Chair must be selected

3- Biological Science — One Graduate Level Course 7 Subject
To provide a firm foundation in modern biology, the student will be expected to have biochemistry and cell biology as prerequisites and then select one graduate-level subject in Biology.
