Computational and Mathematical Biology represent emerging vital fields within biological sciences. Numerous disciplines in genetics, ecology, and evolutionary studies now rely on advanced quantitative approaches. For instance, the emergence of genomic data from projects like the human genome initiative (along with comparable data from other organisms) has highlighted the necessity for computational, statistical, and mathematical approaches to manage, access, and interpret vast datasets. Acknowledging the increasing significance of these analytical methods and competencies, we've established undergraduate specializations in both Computational and Mathematical Biology. These programs aim to equip students for the era of data-centric scientific research.
International applicant should have completed a program of secondary education that would enable you to enter a university in your own country (e.g., A-levels, Abitur).
A strong command of the English language is necessary for successful study at Penn. Applicants whose families do not speak English at home, or applicants who have not attended a high school or secondary school where the primary language of instruction is English, are asked to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, administered by the Educational Testing Service. In the event the TOEFL is not readily accessible, Penn will accept results from the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.
