Emphasis in Bioinformatics
The emphasis in bioinformatics is a degree option with specific requirements.
This degree option trains students in the fundamental principles of
bioinformatics and prepares them for careers in research, medical and corporate
settings. Students will learn how to manage and analyze data stored in
databases, become familiar with the various computational tools and techniques
available to analyze biological data, become familiar with the types of
questions and problems within biology that lend themselves to bioinformatics
analysis and gain proficiency with a variety of statistical techniques necessary
to analyze genomic, proteomic and integrated biological data sets.
Emphasis requirements, in addition to the specified degree
requirements.
