Education
Graduate students can choose to be affiliated with IBEST. These individuals will most often work in the laboratories of faculty affiliated with IBEST, and work on IBEST-related research projects. These students can choose to be in disciplinary degree programs of academic departments, or interdisciplinary programs such as the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) degree program. These individuals are expected to attend IBEST sponsored functions, including IBEST seminars and IBEST luncheons.
Bioinformatics & Computational Biology

Statistical Sciences
Statistics encompasses course work in designing and analyzing experiments, planning and interpreting surveys, and exploring relationships among variables observed on social, physical and biological phenomena. The applied nature of the program allows the student to develop data analysis tools for such diverse areas as business and economics, crop and animal production, biological sciences, human behavior, education, engineering, energy and the environment, and natural resource management.
