With Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics learn how to translate the ''big data'' generated in biological and health research into knowledge that improves human health. As a Bioinformatics major, you'll take courses in computer science, computational biology, mathematics, statistics and chemistry. Dive into research and project-based coursework alongside your professors, and present professional-level research as an undergraduate. Take advantage of the Wild Basin Creative Research Center, an Austin nature preserve managed by St. Edward's, where Bioinformatics students have conducted research on - for example - the fungal microbiomes of native plants. And connect with Austin's growing biotechnology industry, where companies are using bioinformatics to develop solutions to problems in agriculture as well as genetic testing and personalized medicine.
