Bachelor of Science in Informatics - Bioinformatics

Baylor's Bioinformatics undergraduate program was one of the first of its kind when it was created. The Bioinformatics major is a combination of computer science, life sciences, mathematics and statistics. The goal of the program is to produce students competent across multiple disciplines. Upon graduation, they should know enough computer science to know what is computable and enough of life science to know what needs to be computed. Available courses include:Genomics and BioinformaticsData StructuresOrganic ChemistryIntroduction to Operating SystemsMolecular Genetics and GenomicsBecause of the broad-reaching nature of the program, students majoring in this area can expect any number of career opportunities after completing the degree, including database design, library science, data warehousing, forensics, anthropology and agriculture. Students also commonly continue their education in medicine, pharmacological studies and computer science.

A freshman applicant is a student who is attending university for the first time at the undergraduate level. You're a Freshman student if your most recent graduation is or will be from high school (and you have not attempted additional university coursework after completing secondary school).
