Hello, I have been admitted into Arizona State University, University of Utah and University of Arizona for bachelor of computer science.
I plan to attend ASU and I just realized that I am also very interested in biology and I want to do research on disease and human health. ASU has a bachelor in Biomedical informatics, but CS seems like way easier to land a job. Will I be eligible to apply for a M.S in computational biology after I get a bachelor in computer science? Or do I have to switch my major to biomedical informatics or biomedical science in order to get a MS in computational biology?
To get an MS in computational biology, you need to have the prerequisites for the program(s) you’d like to attend. You can get those with an BS in computer science, biomedical informatics or biomedical science, depending on what additional coursework you take.
