By 2016, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects a 1.64 million increase in highly scientific and technologically motivated jobs. Many of these new positions will be at the intersection of traditional disciplines and are likely to involve computational analysis. With this impetus, the Departments of Biology and Mathematics and Computer Science are designing a new program in Computational Biology. The S-STEM program will encourage student to investigate careers at the interface of Biology and Mathematics and provide momentum for this new program, once initiated.
