Earn Your Bachelor's Degree in Bioinformatics
The bachelor鈥檚 degree in Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary major combining courses in biology, computer science, mathematics, and chemistry. Students utilize knowledge from these four disciplines to solve modern problems related to biology and medicine. In bioinformatics, complex genomic and proteomic data are analyzed with computational approaches resulting in novel discoveries furthering the understanding of human health and other organisms. This program is designed to prepare majors to excel in jobs in industry or enter graduate programs in bioinformatics or related disciplines.
Why study Bioinformatics?
There continues to be a practically unlimited amount of complex genomic and proteomic data produced without a comprehensive analysis or adequately-trained scientists to conduct the analysis. The field of bioinformatics is a growing field with high demand for trained bioinformatics scientists.
