With the exception of 985, students may not count any additional research courses (any combination of 910r and lab methods courses) toward track elective requirements. Additional research courses may be taken for College elective credit; students may enroll in 910r up to a total of three times.

We recommend that students apply as soon as they are reasonably certain they want to be in the track to ensure that their coursework is appropriate for the track. Applications must be submitted no later than the first term of the junior year.
