Computational Biology
Effective Fall 2006
The Computational Biology Track can be used to satisfy the track requirements of the CIS Major. Some of the courses can also be the foundation for a minor in Biology. If you are interested in the Biology minor, you should consult with an advisor in the Biology department to determine how to finish the minor requirements.
