About the Major
The major in Computational & Systems Biology is designed primarily for highly motivated undergraduates interested in interdisciplinary activities in life sciences, behavioral sciences, and the computational, control, communication and information branches of engineering and computer science. Primary emphasis is on integrative computational and systems biology studies. Preparation for the major consists of a broad foundation in basic sciences -- chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics, plus an introduction to computing. The major itself provides foundations in mathematical modeling, simulation, computational and information analysis, with an emphasis on quantitative ideas, integrative systems concepts and methodologies. Mathematical, computational and other analytical skills are central to the major.

Students in the Major have several options for in-depth studies: a coherent integration of courses selected from one of five designated concentrations in systems biology, bioinformatics, neurosystems, biomedical systems or computer systems; or from the broader concentration areas of life sciences, behavioral sciences, engineering and applied mathematical sciences, or an integration of courses from these areas.
