Remark
Each student must complete the standard first year course CAM
397 Introduction to Mathematical Modeling and three additional
courses (9 credit hours) of graduate level course work as approved
by both their dissertation advisor and the Graduate Advisor,
in some application area consistent with the student's proposed
research area. The above list is just a sampling of courses
that might be appropriate.
