BSCB Designs New Web Interface & Content
Due to a student-driven initiative, the BSCB website has undergone complete redesign and restructuring. We hope this new format will allow prospective and current students to find the information they need; allow easy access to faculty information; and provide a more thorough treatment of the BSCB program in general.
Some new features are:
- over 1,200 photos of students, faculty and the university.
- specific online application information
- special instructions for international students
- faculty pages and transcripts of interviews of each of our faculty members
- updated curriculum pages
- housing and student life information
- ...and more
