MS in Bioinformatics

The master’s degree requires 32 credits of coursework, with at least 20 chosen from the program’s core. Students must also demonstrate a working knowledge of the array of computational methods available to the modern molecular biologist. This will usually consist of the completion of a carefully circumscribed research project and a written report. A committee of three members of the Bioinformatics faculty, including the student’s advisor, will evaluate the report.
