- Complete at least three of the group’s graduate courses with an S or a letter grade of at least B–; one Quantitative Biology (QB), one Systems Biology (SB) course, and one QSB elective. The acceptible courses can be found here under the "Quantitative and Systems Biology" drop down menu. Do be aware that not all QSB courses are offered in a consistent basis.
- Complete at least 32 units of upper-division and graduate course work with a cumulative gradepoint average of at least 3.0, and a semester GPA not below 3.0 for two consecutive semesters. At least 24 units must be graduate level and no more than 4 units may be Graduate Research QSB 295 or equivalent.
- Pass a comprehensive qualifying examination with both a written and oral component administered by the faculty committee. This examination will test the student’s understanding of the main concepts in the field at the graduate level.
