Bioinformatics Minor
Bioinformatics - it sounds like something from a science fiction story, but in reality it is a fast-growing scientific field in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

The Bioinformatics minor at Kettering University represents a collaborative effort between the Computer Science and Chemistry/Biochemistry departments and provides students with a strong foundation in computational methods used to analyze biological systems.
Students may earn the Bioinformatics minor by completing the following courses:
- BINF-310: Introduction to Bioinformatics
- BIO-241/242 Human Biology/Lab
- BIO-441/442 Molecular and Cellular Biology/Lab
