Bioengineering: Bioinformatics (B.S.)

Bioinformatics is a new discipline that lies at the interface between biology, computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Bioinformatics refers to advanced computational and experimental methods that model the flow of information (genetic, metabolic, and regulatory) in living systems to provide an integrated understanding of the systems properties of model organisms. The major emphasizes systems engineering and model-based approaches to interpreting and integrating bioinformatics data. Bioengineering: Bioinformatics prepares students for careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and biomedical software industries, and for further studies in graduate school.

Please note that all admitted students are placed in the pre-major and must complete screening requirements for admission to the major.
