Career Paths
*Hours are Credit : Lecture : Lab
A double major in this field will also be accepted.
Bioinformatics Concentration Recommended Schedule
Each concentration has 2 MAPs (Major Academic Plans); one for students who have completed MATH 113 (Start with EMC2) and those who have not (Start with Math 112).
Bioinformatics: EMC2
- It is recommended that you take the classes highlighted in blue as part of the EMC2 program (see EMC2.byu.edu). If you have credit for Math 113, you can start EMC2 now.
Bioinformatics: No Prior Calculus Credit
- *Bioinformatics majors should enroll in BIO 165 instead of CS 110. BIO 165 covers very similar material, but with a specific focus on bioinformatics. BIO 165 requires prior or concurrent enrollment in BIO 130.
After graduation, students have gone into the both the workforce and graduate programs. The following table shows some of the career paths our graduates have followed:
