Course Schedules: Program Overview Supporting Department Sites Molecular and Medical
|
Two years of college mathematics (through differential equations), equivalent to Math 31A- 31B, 32A-32B, 33A-33B (at UCLA -- see Mathematics Course Listings ) Physics: One year (calculus-based) Computer Sciences: One course Chemistry: One year Students accepted without these requirements must pass these courses before advancing to candidacy. In addition, applicants to the specialty fields of Molecular Imaging, Medical Imaging and Therapeutic Medical Physics shall have acquired a strong foundation in basic physics, documented by a degree in physics or a degree in engineering, mathematics or other science with physics training equivalent to a minor in physics (upper level courses in electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, atomic structure, statistical mechanics and mechanics). Students may be accepted with some deficiencies in entrance course requirements. However, deficiencies must be removed prior to advancement to candidacy.

Courses: Required courses: A total of six (6) core courses are required for all M.S. and Ph.D. candidates. Common Core Courses (Core 1) for all students .
All M.S. & Ph.D. students are required to pass the above four (4) Core Courses with a "B" grade or better. Two (2) of the following courses may fulfill the six-course core requirement (Core 2):
Other required courses:
All M.S. & Ph.D. students are required to pass all the above Core and Required Courses and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. Elective Courses:
* Requires completion of a Contract for Independent Study, Clinics, and Lab Rotations. This contract may be printed from Course Contract. Specialty Area Courses Molecular Imaging. Minimum course requirement of 60 hours. The molecular imaging specialty includes the core and required courses with the department, graduate courses from physics, engineering, chemistry/biochemistry, pharmacology, and biomathematics, and research study and seminar courses. Medical Imaging. Minimum course requirement of 60 hours. The courses for the medical imaging specialty include the six core courses and six required courses, as well as the medical imaging specialty courses (Biomedical Physics 209 and 210). Appropriate elective courses are selected by the student and the advisor. Therapeutic Medical Physics. Students must demonstrate competence in the subject matter covered in the core courses. In addition, students are required to take the three clinical rotations (Biomedical Physics 202A-202B-202C). Additional coursework is recommended by faculty in accordance with the student's specific needs. Radiation Biology. Students must demonstrate competence in the subject matter covered in the core courses. Because of the breadth of radiation biology and experimental radiation oncology, it is not feasible to design a single curriculum for all students. Instead, additional coursework is recommended by faculty in accordance with specific needs. |
