Program Overview

Computer Science and Molecular Biology

The Master of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Molecular Biology is awarded to students who have already received, or who will simultaneously receive, the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Molecular Biology (Course 6-7). The graduate component of the MEng program is described below.

Course 6-7P Graduate Requirements

• Required Subjects:
  • 6.THM: Master of Engineering Program Thesis (24 units)
  • 6.9830: Professional Perspective Internship (1 unit)
• Restricted Electives:
  • Four graduate subjects totaling at least 42 units, which includes two concentration subjects plus a third graduate subject in electrical engineering and computer science and/or biology.
  • Two subjects from a restricted departmental list of mathematics electives (24 units)
• Total Units: 91-97

The required graduate subjects are selected with departmental review and approval to ensure that the combination, including two subjects in biology and/or computational biology plus a third subject in electrical engineering and computer science and/or biology, forms a distinct and appropriate area of graduate concentration.
