BCB Student Handbook

Welcome to the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program at Iowa State University!

The student handbook is provided to give general guidance about important issues and activities that students will encounter during their graduate career.  Because the BCB Interdepartmental Graduate Major continually seeks to improve, as does the entire graduate education program at Iowa State University, some changes may occur between the times of the annual printing of this document.  Students are expected to stay in close communication with their major professor and the BCB Program Chair and Program Coordinator regarding program requirements, policies, and other important issues.  Students are encouraged to bring questions and comments to the Chair, program coordinator and members of the Supervisory Committee of BCB at any time.
