Systems Analysis students must complete a total of 90 credits with a minimum of 35 credits of coursework [17 credits of coursework in the first year]. Of the 35 credits of coursework, at least 28 credits must be earned in graduate level quantitative/computational courses. Graduate level courses approved by the other specializations in the Complex Biosystems PhD will count towards the remaining credits. Other courses will count with permission of the student’s Supervisory Committee
