Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Graduate Academic Certificate
There is a large and growing demand for graduates with training in bioinformatics and computational biology. These areas are vital to the biotechnology industry, the medical sciences, and conservation biology. This certificate will provide graduate students who are pursuing graduate degrees in other areas with recognition for taking multiple courses of the BCB curriculum, and thus building a strong foundation in bioinformatics and computational biology. For more information, please email bcb@uidaho.edu or visit the BCB Program office in Life Sciences South (Room 441D).
All required coursework must be completed with a grade of B or better (O-10-b).
