Curriculum

All trainees are required to complete three core courses and one elective course in the first three years of graduate training. In addition, all trainees will be required to take a course in the ethical conduct of research and another course dealing with rigor & reproducibility in research. The required biophysics courses include an introductory-level first-year course and two advanced graduate-level courses, which may be completed in either the second or third year. The introductory core course requirement can be fulfilled in the first year on either the Evanston or Chicago campuses. A complete listing of the core and approved elective courses can be found below. Trainees are also required to participate in biophysics related activities including the monthly Biophysics Club, Seminar Series and Journal Club.
