Overview
A core strength of the graduate educational experience within the BIMS PhD and MS Thesis degree programs is the alignment of graduate training with the college’s research strengths, by way of curricular training tracks. These training tracks capitalize on the interdepartmental, cross-disciplinary nature of our research strengths, providing faculty with a natural structure for teaching and mentoring graduate students.
Students select a curricular training track based upon their research interests, planned project, and/or faculty mentor’s area of research. Building upon common core courses for the program, each curricular training track has required coursework and recommended electives that are designed to build a strong foundational body of knowledge relevant to the student’s specific research focus.
