Ever wonder how technology shapes the way we live, work, and connect?
How apps know what you want before you do — like how Spotify knows which song to play next? Or how hospitals use patient data to save lives and improve care?
If you’re curious about the way information flows through our world — and how people and technology work together — you might be an informatician in the making.
Informatics is the science of how we collect, use, and make meaning from data. It blends computer science, data analysis, and human behavior to solve real-world problems across industries.
From designing apps and systems to visualizing data and creating smarter tools, informatics is where tech meets everyday life. See the curriculum.
The SCHOLAR certificate is built into every Bloomfield College degree. Designed to give our students an experiential advantage, the certificate creates opportunities to collaborate with community partners to solve real-world problems.
Informatics majors graduate with versatile, in-demand skills that open doors across industries. You might:
With a strong foundation in both tech and communication, you’ll be prepared to work at the intersection of people and data — or continue on to graduate study in computer science, healthcare, or business.
Bloomfield’s Informatics program is one of the few of its kind in the region — and it’s designed with both tech and people in mind. You’ll explore coding, data visualization, system design, and ethical tech through small classes where your professors actually know your name.
And because Bloomfield is part of Montclair State University, you’ll have access to a top-tier public university’s resources while still getting the support and community of a smaller campus.
Whether you want to work at a tech startup or dive into healthcare innovation or user experience, a degree in Informatics prepares you for a wide range of careers — or grad school pathways — where you can turn data into real-world solutions.
