Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology/MSc in Bioinformatics in Rochester United States | Rochester Institute of Technology

In this fast-paced bioinformatics BS program, biology merges with computing to process vast health industry datasets, enabling the discovery, diagnosis, and treatment of diverse medical conditions. Bioinformatics sits at the crossroads of biological science and computer technology. By pursuing RIT's bioinformatics bachelor's degree, you'll master computational techniques for processing, structuring, and presenting biological information to enhance comprehension and drive innovative breakthroughs.
Bioinformatics has grown indispensable to modern biological research. While laboratories previously handled experimental data through spreadsheets, current research facilities now depend on specialized bioinformatics centers or their own trained bioinformatics specialists. Graduates of our bioinformatics and computational biology BS program have joined these laboratories across both corporate and academic settings as bioinformatics experts. Others have applied their biotech knowledge as hands-on lab researchers. The versatile skills our students develop open doors to numerous professional paths.
Contemporary professions demand graduate-level education combined with practical experience. RIT's Combined Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's Degrees allow you to complete both degrees in just five years while acquiring hands-on training through co-ops, internships, research projects, international study programs, and other experiential opportunities.
