Computer Science, Minor to Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, M.S. Accelerated Program
Saint Louis University's accelerated computer science minor to Master of Science in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology allows a SLU student to complete both a minor in computer science and a master's degree in less time than it would take to pursue them separately.
Students may choose to pursue a minor in computer science in addition to their chosen bachelor's degree major.
For additional information, see the catalog entries for the following SLU programs:
Students who want to apply to this accelerated minor to master's program should have completed at least 75 credits at the time of application and must have already completed or be enrolled in CSCI 2100 Data Structures.
Students must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 at SLU and must have received grades of "B" or better in all CSCI courses thus far. To apply, students must submit a personal statement and arrange for two letters of recommendation.
Non-Course Requirements
All School of Science and Engineering B.A. and B.S. students must complete an exit interview/survey near the end of their bachelor's program.
Continuation Standards
Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.00 in their computer science coursework.
Students who drop below that GPA while in the accelerated program will be placed on a one-semester probationary period before being dismissed from the accelerated program.
