A new program leading to the bachelor of science degree in Cell and Molecular Biology received state approval in December 1992 and began admitting students in Fall 1993. The degree is offered through the Biomedical Sciences Department. The program is directed toward students whose career aims include postgraduate education and, therefore, require exposure to the subject matter at the most sophisticated level possible. The project aims to improve the effectiveness of the program curriculum by providing access to a variety of software packages including the nucleic and protein databases and programs. A cooperative arrangement has been established with the University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC) DNA Core Facility to make available the University of Wisconsin Genetics Computer Group programs. Two faculty at UMC and one at this university are collaborating on this component of the project. Furthermore, faculty members are upgrading three courses and initiating one new course in the Cell and Molecular Biology major. The project provides funding for the purchase of six computers and a printer needed to train students in the use of the databases and other programs related to molecular biology. Subsequent to proving the project, the system can be offered to other institutions throughout the state and region.

1992年12月，一个新的细胞和分子生物学学士学位课程获得了国家批准，并于1993年秋季开始招生。该学位通过生物医学科学系提供。该计划是针对学生的职业目标包括研究生教育，因此，需要接触到的主题在最复杂的水平可能。该项目旨在通过提供各种软件包，包括核酸和蛋白质数据库和程序，提高课程的有效性。与密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（UMC）DNA核心设施建立了合作安排，以提供威斯康星州大学遗传学计算机组的程序。UMC的两名教师和这所大学的一名教师正在合作研究该项目的这一部分。此外，教员正在升级三门课程，并在细胞和分子生物学专业开设一门新课程。该项目提供资金购买六台计算机和一台打印机，用于培训学生使用数据库和其他与分子生物学有关的程序。在证明该项目之后，该系统可以提供给整个州和地区的其他机构。
