Program Overview

Lay the groundwork for a career as a bioinformatician, data analyst or data consultant with a BS in Bioinformatics, specializing in Biological Sciences. The University of Central Missouri’s innovative, interdisciplinary degree program will provide you with in-demand skills and experience to excel in many research, medical and health care settings.

What is bioinformatics?

Bioinformatics bridges the gap between studies in biology and data. Whether you want to unpack findings from genomic studies or pinpoint population data for disease control, you’ll go above and beyond researching biology. You’ll develop the technical skills to produce, collect, analyze and visualize big sets of biological data.

A new approach to a Bioinformatics degree

At UCM, we understand that a career in bioinformatics requires a diverse, agile skill set, so you can work with varied data sets. That’s why our Bioinformatics BS — the only bachelor’s degree program of its kind in Missouri — is interdisciplinary. You’ll gain the ability to solve problems through many lenses with a well-rounded selection of studies in biology, chemistry, computer science and more.

Select online courses offer flexibility for undergraduate students in need of convenience to fit their schedule. This can allow you more time to experience an internship or work with professors on studies in biology and other related areas.
