<p>Hi, I'm a hs student very interested in studying at dukes undergrad (comp bio with bioinrormatics minor).</p>
<p>Does one apply to the institute after one gets in Duke or what?
If so, can students from any duke college (trinity or pratt) apply?</p>
<p>There are a few ways to take classes offered by the genome sciences institute:</p>
<p>you can do a: </p>
<p>1) Genome Sciences & Policy certificate
2) bio major with genome concentration
3) a genome focus program your freshmen year
4) a computational bio major with bioinformatics minor
5) design your own major through Program II
6) take any course offered by the genome institute you want as an elective</p>
<p>There are no application requirements for Duke undergrads. Pratt students must declare a primary major in engineering if planning to double major with Trinity.</p>
<p>I did research for over a year and a half at Duke’s IGSP as a biomedical engineering major. There are professors from various departments that conduct research collaboratively in the building. So, even if you’re not officially enrolled in a “genome sciences” program, you can tailor your research selection to what interests you and gain good exposure to the discipline that will position you well for potential jobs.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!
You guys cleared up a lot of questions</p>
<p>Or do duke focus! Do the genome focus :)</p>
