Bioinformatics
Acquire the skills necessary to apply computational techniques to advance knowledge of biology and the life sciences.
Prepare for a career that will lead us all into the future with programs in the College of Engineering and Computing (CEC). Whether your interest lies in mechanics, manufacturing, medicine, or software, we have a program that will give you both a broad Miami education and experience you will need in your chosen niche.
Learn how to create products and processes in areas as diverse as pharmaceuticals, energy, environment, and pulp and paper science. Biomedical engineers work in similar areas developing engineering solutions for healthcare-related problems and processes.
Lead the way in developing the next generation systems of mobile apps, virtual reality software, and computational biological analysis. As a computer science or software engineer, you will seek to understand society's needs, and once you do, you will create software systems that make a difference for society. As more of the world runs on software, the need for these professionals will only continue to grow.
Create the machines and systems that power our lives, from circuits to smart grids. In this field, you will combine electrical engineering and computing to design technologies as diverse as robots, cell phones, GPS devices, and computers.
Research, develop, analyze, design, manufacture, and test a wide range of tools and systems. From developing sensors to designing cars, aircraft, and everything in between, these engineers are the minds behind most of the things we depend on every day.
Develop the acumen of an engineer and the ability to lead in other roles beyond traditional engineering. Learn how to integrate the principles of this discipline in fields such as law, business, medicine, so that you can help problem solve for each industry's specific future challenges.
Combine your major in any field with a minor from the College of Engineering and Computing. You may take up to two CEC minors, and while some are open to all students on a first-come, first-served basis, others may have entry requirements or restrictions. Contact the department offering the minor you're interested in to learn more.
Acquire the skills necessary to apply computational techniques to advance knowledge of biology and the life sciences.
Learn the fundamentals of software design and development, problem-solving, algorithm design, and a variety of other topics in computer science.
Learn to be globally aware, culturally sensitive, and socially conscious. Use your knowledge to design solutions that enhance the lives of and opportunities for people on a local, national, or international level.
Chemistry majors, explore the pulp and paper industry through coursework, networking, and work experiences.
