The swiftly growing domains of Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Systems Biology lie at the crossroads of biological, computational, and quantitative sciences. Today, it's evident that computational and mathematical techniques are essential for comprehensively analyzing intricate biological processes. These approaches help distill meaningful insights, decode fundamental mechanisms, and forecast biological system behaviors from increasingly vast experimental datasets. Computational biologists are already making significant contributions across innovative sectors, including pharmaceutical development, personalized healthcare analytics, and engineered biological systems. Progress in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Systems Biology depends on strong partnerships between computational researchers and experimental biologists. The Department of Biological Sciences offers an ideal environment for interdisciplinary work, housing both wet labs investigating diverse biological questions and model organisms alongside computational research groups. Students specializing in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Systems Biology (CBS) gain advanced education and conduct research in these fields while maintaining valuable connections with experimental researchers.

Qualification Requirements
The Graduate School recommends applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA or B average when applying.
For transcripts from schools abroad, the UMBC Graduate School will accept official WES (World Education Services) ICAP Course-by-Course evaluations but note that these evaluations are not required.
Students who are unable to meet the minimum GPA standards may still be admitted to graduate study by demonstrating outstanding performance on one or more of the graduate aptitude tests or by providing letters of recommendation from evaluators who can speak to the applicant's performance as a student or in a professional capacity.
Standards for admission to a doctoral program are generally higher than those for admission to a master's program. The terms of this admission are based on specific recommendations made by the applicant's department in conjunction with the Graduate School.
minimum TOEFL score of 80
TOEFL Essentials test is 8.5. Our ETS institution code is 5835.
