Modern biology is being greatly enriched by an infusion of ideas from computational and mathematical fields, including computer science, information science, mathematics, operations research and statistics. In turn, biological problems are motivating innovations in these computational sciences. There is a high demand for scientists who can bridge these disciplines. The goal of the Curriculum in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is to train such scientists through a rigorous and balanced curriculum that transcends traditional departmental boundaries. 9 of 12 hours should be computational unless DGS or ADGS approves otherwise.12
Faculty: The Graduate School | Department: Bioinformatics and Computational Biology | Study mode: full-time | Location: Chapel Hill, NC, United States
9 of 12 hours should be computational unless DGS or ADGS approves otherwise.12 Core courses include BCB 710 Bioinformatics Colloquium; BCB 717 Structural Bioinformatics; BCB 720 Introduction to Statistical Modeling; BCB 722 Population Genetics; BCB 724 Data Communication; BCB 899 Special Topics in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
Graduate School minimum (applies to all graduate programmes): a four-year bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) from an accredited institution completed before graduate study begins and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (B) or better; application via the Graduate School online application with transcripts, three recommendation letters, statement of purpose and CV, plus any programme-specific tests/materials; international applicants add a TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo English Test score; admission decisions are made by each programme. Programme-specific: Ideal BCB candidates should have an undergraduate degree in a biological, physical, mathematical, or computational science.
Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
Graduate applicants apply for a start term; fall is the main start term. Very few programmes admit new students for spring or summer terms.
Graduate applications and payment must be received by the deadline of the academic programme applied to, which varies by programme; the application closes at 11:59pm Eastern Time on the deadline date.
