Requirements for B.S. in Biostatistics
- BIOL1105 Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology (SI-L) (NSL)
- BIOL1106 Introduction to Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (SI-L) (NSL)
- BIOL2123 Genetics
- CHEM1101 Principles of Chemistry I* (SI-L) (NSL) AND CHEM1102 Principles of Chemistry II* (SI-L) (NSL) OR CHEM1103 Chemical Perspectives* (SI-L)
- MATH2101 Linear Algebra (QA) (QR)
- MATH2103 Calculus III (QA) (QR)
- MATH2113 Applied Statistics (QA)
- MATH3103 Probability
- MATH3105 Advanced Statistics
- MATH4101 Programming in SAS
and one elective to be chosen from the following courses:
- BIOL2115 Determinants of Health and Disease
- BIOL2119 Current Topics in Biological Research
- MATH4194/95 Research Internship I & II**
*Qualified students may replace CHEM1101 and CHEM1102 with CHEM 1103
**MATH4194 counts as a 3000-level math elective for a B.S. in Biostatistics if the entire two-semester internship sequence (MATH4194 and MATH4195) is completed. Students receive academic credit for the second internship course (MATH4195), but it would not be counted as one of the 12 required biostatistics courses.
