Fall 2025 Semester Schedule

The courses included on this webpage are for the certificate, master's, and doctoral (PhD and DHI) programs.

Note that all classes will be taught web-based (100% online) for summer 2025. Additionally, McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics only offers 12 Week courses in the summer semester.

Students enrolled in web-based/online classes will complete all coursework 100% online and asynchronously unless otherwise noted by the instructor(s). There is no requirement to visit campus during the summer semester for our school web-based courses.

Web-based courses with quizzes and exams may require students to use a webcam and the Google Chrome browser. See the complete list of technical requirements.

Textbook information will be posted here by July 18.
