A Mathematical Biology: Physiology specialization prepares students to develop mathematical models of complex phenomena and systems. This versatile skill can be applied beyond biological systems and is increasingly valuable to a wide range of industry sectors.
This plan is not a contract, as curriculum can change. The APAS is the official method for tracking completion of University degree requirements.
Students can take either the University-wide or CSE-only versions of the calculus courses (MATH 1271/1371, 1272/1372, 2243/2373, 2263/2374).
