Why I Chose the SYBB MS Program at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½

After completing my undergraduate degree, I knew I wanted to enter a field that would build upon my love for math. SYBB allowed me to explore my interests and use data to learn more about genes. The SYBB program at Case is special because of the strong relationships between the students and instructors. My professors are warm and welcoming, and they have offered me a number of opportunities to take part in their research. These research projects have provided valuable hands on experience, making me feel prepared and excited to start my career.

Life in Cleveland

When I am not working on my thesis, I like to explore different parts of Cleveland. Transportation is very accessible, and I find it easy to find parking around the city, whether it be on-campus or downtown. There are many places to go, from restaurants and shopping malls to sports games. I like that our Uptown campus allows me to focus on my school work, but there is no shortage of things to do when I need a break.
