Bioinformatics (B.S.)
Bioinformatics and computational biology incorporate computer science, 统计数据, and information technology to create tools for processing and analyzing biological data, and to advance the understanding of living systems through computation.
At 威尼斯人平台 the bioinformatics major blends courses in biology, 化学, and physics with courses in programming, 统计数据, and other methods, producing graduates who are both strong in science and able to develop and use data processing tools to advance scientific knowledge.
Our program is scientifically rigorous, providing students with in-demand programming and analytical 技能 through a solid, balanced offering in STEM courses. Combined with undergraduate research opportunities, this rounded curriculum provides the knowledge, 技能, and experiences to pursue careers in bioinformatics or computational biology.
Courses include programming in Perl, C++, and Java; data structure and algorithms; data mining; 统计数据; human biology; genetics; genomics and transcriptomics; and more.
Two tracks are available. Applied Bioinformatics has more required and elective courses in computer science. Computational 生物学 has more required and elective courses in biology.
