Computational Biosciences at ASU


*We are temporarily not accepting applications*

Welcome!

The disciplines of the life sciences are rapidly requiring more mathematical and computational analyses than have typically been employed. While some mathematical approaches have been applied to biological questions for many years, the advance in computational capability has increased the pace of bioscience research to unprecedented levels of speed, precision, and detail. This has dramatically transformed the kinds of problems tackled. To meet the increased industry demand, a new type of graduate degree program has been developed.

The Program

The Computational Biosciences Professional Science Master's (PSM) Degree will serve to produce students capable of meeting the demands of today's Biotechnical & Biomedical Industries. The graduate program includes core coursework and electives which have been designed to enhance the existing expertise of students. Based on the areas of focus, the program has four main tracks:

Bioinformatics Track

Computational Molecular Biology Track

Quantitative Ecology Track

Physiological Modeling Track
