Bioinformatics
The bioinformatics major is a collaboration between biological sciences and the mathematics, statistics and computer science department. This major lives at the leading edge of science and technology, mining big data generated by biological researchers to create meaningful theories and solve problems in the life sciences.
Set yourself apart.
Marquette is one of the only universities offering a bachelor degree in bioinformatics. Here, you will gain a broad background in both biology and computer science, conduct independent research under the guidance of your faculty mentor and participate in a project-based capstone course that truly merges biological experimentation and big data analysis.
Answer the call.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the bioinformatics field is growing faster than most. Big data has become central to industries as diverse as health care, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, conservation ecology and agriculture. Marquette bioinformatics students gain the necessary interdisciplinary expertise to solve complex problems at the intersection of science and math.
