Note: The Biomedical Informatics program is not available in Illinois or Virginia. However, in these states BMI coursework is offered as a concentration in the Computer Information Systems program.
* There are several pairs of CIS courses, ending in A or B, which differ principally in the language/platform used to explore course concepts. Each course in the pair meets graduation requirements. Later in the program, students must choose courses that explore the corresponding language/platform.
