4Our freshman-year curriculum provides our students (irrespective of either biotechnology-concentration or bioinformatics-concentration) with a solid background in various disciplines of biological sciences, including biology, physics, chemistry, and information technology.

4Our sophomore- and junior-year curricula focus on two tracks: one is core courses, which include biochemistry (laboratory exercises included), biostatistics, basic bioinformatics, and molecular biology; the other is specialty courses designed to foster skills in specialized areas of biotechnology and bioinformatics.
