Please also see our complete specification of the BHI Ph.D. and M.S. degree requirements. Below is a more informal listing of the classes, including some example electives (i.e. non-BHI courses):

BHI Program Core Coursework:

See our course description page for more detailed information about each course. The above eight courses are required for all Ph.D. and M.S. students. (In addition, all postdoctoral fellows must take four of these eight courses; please see full postdoc coursework policy.) These courses may be completed relatively early, as shown in the table below. 

Per the degree requirements, both M.S. and Ph.D. students must also take a number of research seminars (1 credit each) and electives. The electives below are just examples, and there are many other courses that may be appropriate electives for BHI students.
