Program details
Overview
Systems and Information Biology examines the intersection of biology and computer science through lectures, labs and research projects covering molecular and cell biology, computer coding and algorithms applied to biological problems, genomics and biological data science, mathematics, statistics and modelling, and ecology and evolutionary biology. Students may pursue an Honours option (73 credits) or a Specialization option (61 credits), with an optional co-op stream adding paid work terms of 12 to 16 weeks. Full-time study takes a minimum of three to four years (90-120 credits), with classes held on the Loyola campus in Montreal and admission in the Fall or Winter term. The program builds a foundation for careers in the life sciences, environmental sciences, bioinformatics or biotechnology, and for graduate study in related fields.
