Department of Health Informatics

Important Note:

These New Requirements for Graduation (RGs) are strictly for the Incoming M.S and PhD Students from Fall 2008 session. However the relatively new students currently enrolled in either of those programs have the option to sign up for the new RGs.You can find information on the old RGs here.

The qualifying examinations starting Fall 2008 will be based on the new core courses (the six core courses BINF5005, BINF5210, BINF5100, BINF5035, BINF5020 and BINF5130) and the specific examinable objectives for the qualifying examination can be found under the qualifying exam link on this website.
