About the Computational Biology Concentration
Students may pursue a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science. Students pursuing the ScB have the option of electing a concentration in Computational Biology with one of three focus areas:
- Computer Sciences
- Biological Sciences
- Applied Mathematics & Statistics
Both programs require a senior capstone experience that pair students and faculty in creative research collaborations.
