Below are courses currently required for all IQ Biology students to complete during their first year at CU.
Either Bioinformatics and Genomics or AI-Integrated Experimental Design will be required.
Gap-Filling Courses
In your first year, you will also take up to two courses from already existing course offerings to balance your background with your desired research activities. These 鈥済ap鈥恌illing鈥� courses give you an opportunity to broaden your capabilities and explore areas of quantitative biology that are new to you. Courses from any of our participating departments can be chosen, depending on your background and future research interests. The selection of these courses will be approved or assigned by members of the Academic Advising Committee who will take into consideration the IQ Biology Core Competencies and Key Foundational Areas as well as your individual research interests. Undergraduate coursework may be taken for one of the two courses; however, these credits are unlikely to count towards a doctoral degree.听
