Certificate in Quantitative Biology

Biology is the study of all living things—how they reproduce, grow, and evolve and how they relate to each other and to their environment. Biologists examine the chemical and cellular basis of life and its many levels of organization, from molecular to ecosystem. They also study inheritance, molecular genetics, the biology of populations, behavior, the flow of energy in living systems, and evolutionary and ecological relationships.

The certificate in quantitative biology applies computer science, statistics, and mathematical modeling to problems in biological science. It involves equal amounts of biological/life science course work and course work in math, statistics, or computer science.
