Program checklist · Minor

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

Worcester Polytechnic Institute · Worcester, MA

A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

Program

Award: Minor
Catalog edition: Catalog 2026-2027
Checklist type: degree-program
Description: Students pursuing the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology minor need to acquire some familiarity with the three fields that form the basis of this interdisciplinary area: biology, mathematics, and computer science. They should also take at least one interdisciplinary course that uses quantitative methods to pose and answer biological problems. Students should be careful to choose their mathematics, computer science, and biology courses to prepare themselves for whichever capstone BCB course they plan to take.
