Students must take EN.655.662 Intro to Healthcare Systems Engineering first and should take EN.655.771 Healthcare Systems either concurrently or immediately after. The remaining core courses should be taken in sequential order and must be completed prior to taking an elective. In rare circumstances, a student may take a course out of sequential order with advisor approval. Subject to advisor approval, an elective may be substituted for a core course if the student has previously completed an equivalent graduate-level course.
