QBIC (Quantifying Biology in the Classroom) is a new Biological Sciences Program intended
for incoming freshmen interested in earning a BSc in Biology.
QBIC graduates will have a greater likelihood of being accepted into Biomedical or Behavioral Science Graduate Programs.
Our rigorous, faculty-developed curriculum is both interdisciplinary and quantitative: QBIC courses integrate the biological and physical sciences with mathematics, English, and other required electives.
QBIC scholars have the benefit of:
- smaller and specialized classes
- a tight social network of gifted classmates
- close interactions with professors
- research opportunities
- a summer computer simulation and modeling workshop
- and a chance at one of QBIC’s four-year scholarships, among others.
QBIC is actively recruiting entering freshmen with excellent academic credentials for Fall 2008.
Applicants must provide:
-
completed application form (http://qbic.fiu.edu)
