The discipline of Informatics studies the application of information technology to practically any field, while considering its impact on individuals, organizations, and society. It uses computation as a universal tool to solve problems in other fields, to communicate, and to express ideas.
Undergraduate Informatics Minor
The INFORMATICS MINOR is a set of courses that prepares students to study and develop new uses for computer systems in their future endeavors. The aim is that they will become better creators and users of computing technology and will think critically about technology’s role in society.
Global Informatics Certificate
The Global Informatics Certificate is a program to support the pursuit and mastery of both cultural and computational influences, preparing undergraduate students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to enter a world in which information technologies are ubiquitous, evolving and global in scope.
MS in Bioinformatics
The BIOINFORMATICS MS program at the University of Illinois is designed to satisfy the demands of a highly interdisciplinary and rapidly evolving field. An explosion of biological information is being generated from academic, industry, and government labs giving rise to a critical demand for professionals who can turn this information into useful knowledge.
PhD in Informatics
The INFORMATICS PhD program is a unique research degree defined by innovative application and invention of computational methods to advance existing or newly created fields of inquiry. Research and education in informatics has a strong interdisciplinary focus bringing together information and computation foundations with application areas.
