BIOMS Student Resources: BIOMS Program

Courses that have been taken by BIOMS Students in the Past

The BIOMS program offers students the opportunity to develop a plan of study that is completely customized for each student. Theoretically this means that students may use ANY gradute level course (usually 600 level or above) offered by ANY Department at UD (or Thomas Jefferson University, (through the UD-TJU Graduate Student Learning Partnership!) that satisfy the BIOMS requirements. The Plan of Study is intended to provide both depth of knowledge in the student's chosen area of concentration and breadth of knowledge in the broad area of biomechanics and movement sciences. Plans of study are evaluated by the BIOMS Executive Committee at the end of the first semester of study. Students are welcome to request that the Executive Committee evaluate the suitability of a course prior to including it in their plan of study by sending the course number and name, description and syllabus to the BIOMS Staff Assistant ( ud-bioms@udel.edu). The course will be reviewed at the next meeting of the Executive Committee.

Courses listed below is intended to show examples of courses taken by BIOMS students and are not the only courses that BIOMS students can attend. This list also does NOT necessarily refect courses that are currently being offered. Please contact the Department that offers the course to determine if or when the course is being offered.

(S) Courses that have been used to satisfy the Statistics Requirement
(I) Courses that have been used to satisfy the Instrumentation Requirement

* Any course that is numbered 667 or 867 is considered an "experimental course" that may not be offered every semester. Therefore, when you register for the course it may have been given an official course number that should be used instead. Please ask the the course instructor what number you should use for the course number that you should use when you register.

** Be sure to ask the PT Department if this course will be offered and with which instructor.
