BINF-MIN - Minor: Bioinformatics

In order to be admitted to the Minor, students must have successfully completed a minimum of 24 units with a minimum GPA of 2.50 over the preceding 24 units. Students must apply online via their Student Centre.

The Minor has a fixed number of places for students (maximum 15 per calendar year). Students will be considered for admission on a competitive basis. The application to the Minor will include consideration of the applicant’s grade point average and a statement of interest explaining why they wish to complete a Minor in Bioinformatics. Information on document submission can be found on the Bachelor of Health Sciences website (cumming.ucalgary.ca). Where the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available places, consideration will be given to a distribution of students from all eligible disciplines (Health Sciences (Biomedical Sciences, Health and Society); Biological Sciences (multiple majors); and Computer Science).

Students interested in a Minor in Bioinformatics should meet with a program advisor as early in their program as possible. Students should be aware that some courses have prerequisites and must be taken into consideration when planning their program.
