Courses and Curriculum 2007-08

The Biosciences have emerged as an enormously interdisciplinary endeavor, with major contributions routinely arising from the marriage of areas traditionally viewed as discrete disciplines. Students in different Home Programs and different students within the same Home Program will take different courses that best match their needs and backgrounds.  These decisions should be made in conjunction with Home Program advisors.  Course information is available via Axess, http://axess.stanford.edu, on the Registrar’s website, http://www.stanford.edu/dept/registrar/bulletin/, and on the School of Medicine website, http://medcatalog.stanford.edu
