The minor in Mathematical Biology is designed for students of the life sciences who wish to acquire a broader base of quantitative expertise in support of their major area of study. The minor includes courses on the mathematical modeling of biological systems.
Effective Fall 2011
Students must satisfactorily complete the total credits required for the minor. Minors and interdisciplinary minors require 12 or more upper-division (300- to 400-level) credits.
Additional coursework may be required due to prerequisites.
A minimum grade of C is required in all mathematics, statistics, and computer science courses including all MATH, STAT, or CS joint-listed courses required for the minor in mathematical biology.
