Bioinformatics Minor

Hours: 15-16 credits, all completed with  minimum grades of C 

The minor provides students with solid exposure to bioinformatics with an emphasis on microbes. With the avalanche of genomic information available, bioinformatics skills are necessary to mine and analyze genomic data.

The minor is open to all UF students who have a science background and who meet course prerequisites. It is particularly appropriate for students majoring in biology, mathematics, microbiology and cell science, statistics and zoology, and for students who are interested in professional programs in dentistry, medicine and pharmacy.

Microbiology and cell science majors should meet with their academic advisers before applying to this minor to plan a program of study that includes no more than 6-7 credits that count toward both the major and the minor.
