If you complete all 5 classes successfully, you will earn a minor in Computing Applications. The courses include CSc 306 (Computing and App Design for Biologists), CSc 220 (Data Structures and Algorithms), CSc 307 (Web and Databases for Biologists), and CSc 690 (Two special topic courses, lectures, and independent research project). Students take classes with other biology and chemistry students and are mentored by CS grad students and Biology faculty. No prior computer science background needed.
The first class of the PINC program (CSC 306) will be taught by Dr Pleuni Pennings, on MW 3:30 – 4:45 in Thornton 329. If you have trouble signing up for the class, please email pennings@sfsu.edu.
