The Systems Biology minor introduces undergraduate students to an active, interdisciplinary, quantitative biosciences research and teaching field at UCLA. It offers a coherent course plan encompassing basic foundations of the field. Beside broadening student knowledge in systems biology, the minor provides students with enhanced perspective about computational and systems biology methods and applications and better prepares students to make more informed choices about their future directions and careers. The minor consists of lower-division courses basic to the minor, a survey seminar course, four core courses, and one elective course that provide the needed background in molecular and cell biology, computational and systems engineering, and mathematical modeling and simulation methods for biological systems.
