Undergraduate Minor in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics
The Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBB) Minor is an interdisciplinary program that prepares students to understand, use, and develop advanced computational methods and tools for processing, visualizing, and analyzing biological data and for modeling biological processes. Studies in computational biology and bioinformatics involve biosciences, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics. Students will be prepared for careers in biomedical, biotechnology, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and engineering fields and for related graduate studies.
The Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (CBB) Minor requires 18 credit hours from four core courses and elective courses. The core courses are:
- CSCE 155T Computer Science I: Informatics Focus
- BIOS 337 Basic Applications of Bioinformatics
- STAT 218 Introduction to Statistics
or MATH/STAT 380 Statistics and Applications - CSCE 311 Data Structures and Algorithms for Informatics
For the official description of the CBB Minor requirements, including foundation courses and the lists of elective courses, see the UNL Undergraduate Catalog.
