Printer FriendlyUndergraduate students who major in biology, chemistry, computer science or mathematics may elect the bioinformatics option.
Graduate students work through the existing Master's and Doctoral degree programs in Computer Science and supplement their coursework and research with science-rich courses.
The program provides even greater flexibility at the doctoral level, where the students can create a Bio/Cheminformatics program tailored to their individual interests and background.
