Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics] From University of Wisconsin - Parkside

The scientists who do so are able to solve a variety of important biological challenges facing our society including diagnosis and treatment of disease, management of environmental degradation, and production of a stable food supply. The molecular biology and bioinformatics (MBBI) major integrates training in molecular biology with computer and programming skills essential for success in the life sciences.

Critical thinking, problem solving, and practical work in the laboratory and at computer terminals are emphasized. Your educational experience can best be described as hands-on. You'll benefit from professors who take a personal interest and build lasting relationships. This one-on-one attention is the educational foundation that launches successful careers.

Outside the classroom, Parkside offers the opportunity for you to get involved. Honor societies, student clubs, and organizations help establish your leadership skills, build your community connections, and create a professional network of mentors and coaches. The results speak for themselves. The undergraduate MBBI is excellent preparation for the Parkside master's program in applied molecular biology. Opportunities for MBBI students include medicine, pharmaceuticals and drug design, agriculture, environmental protection, and forensics.
