Overview

Bioinformatics connects the skills gap between biology and data science. You won’t just conduct scientific research or run statistical studies in biology, you’ll take data to the next level. You’ll learn how to document, analyze and visualize big sets of biological data.

A bioinformatics career requires a broad set of skills. That’s why our undergraduate program curriculum prepares you to work with all kinds of data in different ways. As the only program of its kind in Missouri, University of Central Missouri’s bachelor’s in Bioinformatics - Computing and Statistics draws from many disciplines. With a Computing and Statistics emphasis, you’ll take courses in biology, chemistry, computer science and more, so that you can approach and understand big sets of data through many lenses.
