The Individualized Track allows students to construct a curriculum to match their interests and career focus.
Elective courses can be chosen from the BioBusiness, BioScience, Cell & Gene Therapy, and Drug Design & Discovery tracks, or from other programs at Georgetown University. For the second semester, students can also choose to transfer to other tracks.
