A new undergraduate degree in biomedical sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas is preparing graduates for success in health professions and scientific careers by combining elements of biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics and mathematical sciences. They could start in the data analytics track and still decide to go to medical school. The coursework for the certificate is embedded in the data analytics track within the biomedical sciences degree, so any student taking that track will also earn the certificate. Dr. Vladimir Dragovic, professor and department head of mathematical sciences, said his department will oversee the data analytics track. “Bioinformatics, data analytics, and advanced technology and treatments are increasingly informing modern medicine and opening up new career paths for graduates with interdisciplinary skills.
