Data Science, B.S. to Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, M.S. Accelerated Program

Saint Louis University – Globally Recruit

The B.S. in data science is among the most rigorous degrees offered at SLU. This program combines carefully selected computer science, statistics and mathematics courses with four semesters of practica and capstone experiences. The result is an education that is rooted in the fundamentals but also provides hands-on experience with cleaning, visualizing, analyzing and reporting on data. Students choose electives within the major to specialize more in the computer science or statistical aspects of data science. The 30-credit bioinformatics and computational biology program is designed for students with academic backgrounds in the life sciences, mathematics, computer science, health sciences, engineering and statistics. The curriculum consists of a mix of required courses that build a strong foundation in bioinformatics and computational biology and elective classes that allow students to specialize in their expertise. Full-time students can complete the program in 18 to 24 months. Part-time students are welcome in the program.
