Bioinformatics option for CMSC science requirement
There is a new biology class (at least newer than the list of acceptable classes in the CMSC degree audit) that may be of interest to some CMSC students. This 3-credit class is BIOL 313, Introduction to Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
To count this class toward your CMSC science credits, you must 1) be a CMSC student, 2) enroll in the class, 3) after you are enrolled, contact the CMSC Undergraduate Program Director (me) for an exception to get it to count toward your CMSC science credits.
Note that there are several science requirements at UMBC, some for the major, and some that apply to all students. Sometimes the same class can count toward more than one of these. This class counts toward the 12-credit CMSC science total only. You will need to find other classes to help you satisfy the science sequence, GEP science requirement, and GEP lab requirement.
