M.S. in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is a new discipline of science that organizes and translates the overwhelming amount of data recently available on living organisms as a result of the human genome project and follow-up projects. This new branch of science requires comprehensive training in biology, chemistry, and computer science. The Master of Science program in Bioinformatics prepares students for academia or the fast-paced pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries. The program includes a solid, carefully tailored curriculum of study that is designed to accommodate the needs of students holding Bachelor of Science degrees who wish to enter the Bioinformatics field. Individuals with advanced degrees that are employed in sectors that value such skills will also benefit from the curriculum.
