Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology - Computer Science and Engineering

Use electronic health records to prevent future pandemics. Help analyze genetic data to develop new cancer drugs. Create advanced computer models that lead to more resilient ecosystems. If these things sound interesting to you—and if you like using science, math, data and statistics—then this program could be exactly what you're looking for. This program is for students who want a highly interdisciplinary major, with the freedom to focus on biology, computer science or informatics (using data to improve health).What will I learnIn this major, you'll take core classes in calculus, statistics, molecular biology, organic chemistry and databases, as well as bioinformatics.From there, your courses will be based on your specific concentration; all students must choose one of these areas to focus in:Computer science and engineering. Apply computing to answer questions related to cellular and sub-cellular structures.
