Biomedical Computation

Main content start

Interdisciplinary Programs, School of Engineering

Use advanced computational techniques to address questions in biology and medicine.

What You'll Study

The BMC program is designed for students who have an interest in using advanced computational techniques to address questions in biology and medicine. There are four choices of focus areas: Two of the tracks (Informatics and Simulation) place a bit more emphasis on the computational aspects of the discipline, while the other two (Cellular/Molecular and Organs/Organ Systems) provide more depth in biology. For detailed course lists follow the link to Biomedical Computation Program Requirements on right. Students take courses in calculus,statistics, chemistry, biology (or HUMBIO), Mechanics, and basic programming to gain a solid foundation for the more advanced core and depth courses.
