Example Courses in the Three Course Areas

Courses in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Beginning with the class which enters in the fall of 2008, CBB students will be required to take CBB 752a/b, CBB 750a/b, and CBB 740a, unless they have taken equivalent graduate courses in their previous education. Students entering prior to 2008 may take any three of the following five courses.

Courses in Biological Sciences

Courses are available in many departments, including Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Genetics, and Cell Biology. Courses that recent CBB graduate students have taken include the following:

Courses in Informatics

Computer Science and Related Courses

Courses are available in Computer Science and other departments. Example courses that CBB graduate students might take include the following:

Statistics Courses

For CBB students, the following two course sequence has been popular:

STAT 538a combines the material from two courses for statistics graduate students (STAT 541a Probability Theory and STAT 610a Statistical Inference). It was developed for CBB students to provide the necessary background for STAT 645b (which can count either as a CBB course or as an informatics course).

CBB students have also enrolled in the following statistics courses:
