2. Curriculum Organization

Overview

• For academic and career guidance, sub-majors include advanced bioelectronics, biomaterials, and brain science, but the curriculum itself is not divided into the above sub-majors
• Completion credits are based on the standard completion requirements of graduate schools (master’s degree: 12 credits or more in major courses, 12 credits or less in elective courses = 24 credits in total / master’s-doctoral integrated degree: 30 credits or more needed in major courses, 21 credits or less in optional courses = 51 or more credits in total)
