Quantitative Biology Minor


Offered by Biological Sciences .

A number of studies have identified the need for broader interdisciplinary education of undergraduate students in sciences to prepare them for successful scientific careers. In particular, these studies call for an increased preparation of undergraduate students to be able to integrate knowledge of biology and mathematics to address modern biological and medically-oriented questions.
