The biomathematics program at Illinois State University was developed recently to help students understand how biology and mathematics are intertwined and how a broad-based knowledge of each area will be critical for future graduate study and/or employment opportunities. Students may choose to pursue a degree in biomathematics if they are considering employment in the public health field or interested in research projects that involve analyzing biological data. Study of Biomathematics facilitates working in wide spectrum of fields such as modeling, epidemiology (the study of the spread of diseases) , molecular biology, physiology (the study of processes in organisms) or population biology
