Program overview

Main Subject

Biological Sciences

Study Level

Masters

The biomathematics program at Illinois State University was developed recently to help students understand how biology and mathematics are intertwined and how a broad-based knowledge of each area will be critical for future graduate study and/or employment opportunities. The "Biomathematics: MS Sequence and Cross-Disciplinary Research at the Interface of Biology and Mathematics" is a new master's sequence that incorporates cross-disciplinary research as integral to the curriculum. Through this Master's sequence, students will choose a series of courses concentrated in one of three critical areas of Biomathematics (theoretical and applied statistics, deterministic and stochastic modeling, or computation and bioinformatics) and conduct thesis research within the cross-disciplinary field of Biomathematics. It is one of several Programs of Excellence awarded by the College of Arts & Sciences. There is no other Biomathematics M.S. program in Illinois, and the few existing programs in the nation typically do not exhibit the strong and balanced emphasis on course work in both disciplines the Biomathematics program will offer.
