BS - Bioinformatics

Overview

A Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics (BS-Bioinformatics) is a four-year undergraduate degree program that combines the fields of Biology and Computer Science to study and analyze biological data. Bioinformatics is a rapidly growing field with a wide range of applications, including drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and environmental research.

BS-Bioinformatics programs typically cover a wide range of topics, including Biological Principles, Computer science, Mathematics & Statistics, Data analysis, Programming, Software development and Bioinformatics Tools & Techniques.

BS-Bioinformatics graduates are prepared for a variety of careers, like Bioinformatics research, Data science, Software development, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical industry and Healthcare

BS-Bioinformatics programs are offered by a variety of universities and colleges around the world.

BS-Bioinformatics programs can be a great way to prepare for a career in the life sciences.

The field of bioinformatics is growing rapidly, and there is a high demand for qualified professionals. If you are interested in a career that combines biology and computer science, a BS-Bioinformatics program is the right choice for you.

BS – Bioinformatics Mission Statement

To enhance the competency of our graduates to integrate theory & practice across biological & computing disciplines that is required to design & implement innovative methods to solve biological problems with an emphasis on acquisition, representation, retrieval, visualization and analysis of biological data.
