‡ Med. Phys. 900 Journal Club and Seminar
† Required course.
‡ All graduate students are expected to attend regularly the weekly Med. Phys. 900 Seminar, every semester. It must be taken for credit twice, however. (This is a required course which must be taken any two semesters before receiving the M.S. degree.)
* Electives are to be approved by faculty advisor.
** Offered every other Spring (even years)
*** Offered every other Spring (odd years)
**** Offered every other Fall (odd years)
Note: Either Human Physiology [Physiology 335 (Sem: I,II) or equivalent] or Human Anatomy [Anatomy 328 (Sem: I) or equivalent] is required. The course may be taken on a pass/fail basis. (A pass/fail grade is not used in computing the GPA. Student must receive a pass grade.) A pass/fail course cannot count for major or minor credit. The physiology or anatomy requirement may be waived if an equivalent course has been taken for credit in a prior program.
Please note: Trainees on the Radiological Sciences Training Grant must take Oncology 401 or 703.
