Learn the science of storing, extracting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting and using biological data with a bachelors degree in bioinformatics from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. One of only a few programs like it both regionally and nationwide, the bioinformatics program will help you develop your programming and statistical skills while enhancing your knowledge in the life sciences. Coursework throughout the program will introduce you to the software used to extract information from large databases and teach you how to use that information in computer modeling and data analysis. Students also will gain critical skills in problem-solving, which will allow them to develop new algorithms and methods of data analysis, as well as learn how to explain and apply fundamental methods in probability and statistics to the analysis of biological datasets. UW-Eau Claire’s bioinformatics majors will graduate with the programming and statistical skills required to work as data scientists or data analysts. They also will be prepared to pursue graduate studies in bioinformatics, data science or the life sciences. The study of bioinformatics is also an excellent choice for future biologists who aspire to be involved in research and are interested in areas such as molecular biology, genetics and evolutionary biology. Computer scientists with an interest in information technologies and developing and maintaining software used in molecular biology, genetics and evolutionary biology may also find bioinformatics an exciting program. Other students who may find this program helpful to their career goals are future mathematicians, statisticians and data scientists with an interest in using statistical techniques to analyze datasets encountered in molecular biology, genetics and evolutionary biology.
