Biological Data Sciences Program
The life sciences have experienced a paradigm shift. Massively large and complex datasets can be collected automatically. Computational, statistical, and mathematical methods are necessary to study these types of biological data.
Students in the Biological Data Sciences (BDS) major are broadly trained to study the fundamentals of data generation, processing, and analysis to gain high-level biological insights and interpretations.
A degree in BDS offers a diversity of career and graduate school opportunities.
