Program Overview
Study the fundamentals of engineering, life science technology, and computational methods and acquire strong skills in computer biology and medicine. Combine your passions and goals with the skills needed to create global advances in health and medicine.
The B.S. in Biocomputational Engineering offers a curriculum that combines the growing fields of bioengineering, life sciences, and quantitative problem-solving while developing skills in computational methods and data science.
These skills can be applied to the modeling of complex biological systems and the analysis of complex biological data sets to create new knowledge from the molecular to organ to system levels, and to develop innovative processes for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. In addition to earning the B.S. from the University of Maryland, graduates acquire an excellent foundation for rewarding careers in the emerging biopharma, biomedical, and biotech industries centered in Maryland and throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
The B.S. in Biocomputational Engineering is offered through the University’s A. James Clark School of Engineering, which serves as a catalyst for high-quality research, innovation, and learning.
