What is QBIC?

»

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 have:

  • minimum 3.3 GPA
  • minimum 1750 SAT score (Math 600+)
  • an interest in a PhD or MD/PhD

 

        

Applicants must provide: 

  • completed application form (http://qbic.fiu.edu)
  • 2 letters of recommendation from teachers/advisors
  • personal statement that explains your interest in QBIC
           
                      


Applications will be evaluated as they are received.  This is a competitive program, and applicants are encouraged to submit completed applications by July 31st, 2008 in order to receive optimal consideration.
