Overview

The Bioinformatics Major is offered by St. Mary's University. Bioinformaticians are in high demand not only in research but also in academia because few people have the education and skills to fill available positions.

Key Facts

The Bioinformatics program prepares students for graduate school, medical school or entry into the field. Bioinformatics is highly applicable to all branches of life sciences and also to fields like personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics – the study of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs. Students take 30 credit hours of core Bioinformatics classes, which includes internship or research and a Bioinformatics Capstone course.
