Bioinformatics Concentration


Concentration Requirements


Students must take four of the following six common core courses (12 credit hours):

 

  • MATH 8110 - Real Analysis I 3 Credit Hours 
  • MATH 8200 - Advanced Matrix Analysis 3 Credit Hours 
  • MATH 8510 - Applied Mathematics 3 Credit Hours 
  • STAT 8600 - Probability Theory 3 Credit Hours 
  • STAT 8561 - Linear Statistical Analysis I 3 Credit Hours 
  • MATH 9116 - Teaching College Mathematics 3 Credit Hours 


The bioinformatics concentration requires that a student takes four qualifying exams, based on four courses. The courses that may be used for the qualifying exams are the common core courses above (with at least two courses chosen from the common core, excluding MATH 9116) and the following courses:

  •     MATH 8500   Systems Biology  
  •     MATH 8505   Advanced Mathematical Biology  
  •     MATH 8515   Dynamical Foundations of Neuroscience  
  •     MATH 8520   Applied Combinatorics and Graph Theory  
  •     MATH 8525   Applied Stochastic Processes   
  •     MATH 8560   Informatics of Neural and Cardiovascular Systems 

Required Courses (15 Hours)


Students must take five of the following six required courses (15 credit hours):

9 Credit Hours Selected from


Students must take at least 9 credit hours selected from the list below (9 credit hours).

At Least 18 Credit Hours


Students must take at least 18 credit hours that should be selected from other graduate level courses in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and courses from other departments listed below. The total number of required hours of coursework is 54; if STAT 8561 is taken as part of the core and used to also satisfy the 9 required hours above, a student must take additional coursework in Mathematics and Statistics or from the list below.

Dissertation Research
