Administration flow charts
These charts provide an overview of the things you need to do and complete in order to
graduate. It is a good idea to check these items off as they are done, and write the dates
and notes on the page alongside.

Course requirements
Course requirements for the Master’s and PhD programs in Biomedical Engineering
are detailed in the spreadsheet. This spreadsheet also allows you to fill in the blanks
and complete your plan to meet the requirements. Historically, the scheduled times and
availability of courses is variable. Sometimes a listed course will not be offered.
Therefore, you need to be sure that the scheduled times and availability of the required
courses you have included in your plan are accurate.
Tables of course requirements
These tables are designed to help the student quickly identify course requirements, and
categories of courses that are needed for completion of the program. One or the other
table should be filled in completely, and updated quarterly as you proceed through the
program. The table should record changes, by using a single-line to cross through, rather
than delete changes. A new table should be started if the changes are so extensive that
you run out of space.

General preparation
This is a list of the UC Davis course offerings that are used to meet the general
requirements of the BME graduate program (either Master’s or PhD).
Main List
These are the usual courses meeting General Requirements.
List of possible
alternate courses
These are courses from other departments (e.g. Physics) that might be substituted for
certain required courses. In order to be eligible as a substitute, the course must
substantially match the content of the required course.
Specialized preparation
Long list: Upper division and
graduate courses
This is a long list of the UC Davis course offerings, both upper and lower division.
There are many courses in this list that have never been used to satisfy degree
requirements. But hey, would might be the first one with a new course never before used!
Short list: Upper
division and graduate courses
This is the list above, honed down to the most likely courses that will be used to
satisfy the course requirements of the BME Masters and Doctoral Degree programs.
Employment Opportunities

This site is intended to help graduate students deal with
administrative and financial issues associated with enrollment in the Biomedical
Engineering (BME) graduate program. It is especially tailored toward those students who
are specializing in Biomedical imaging. The Graduate Advisor for this Section is Michael
H. Buonocore.
