Program Objective
The Master of Science in Bioinformatics degree program is a multidisciplinary degree program. It involves the required courses from Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics and the elective courses from Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Science, Health, Engineering, or Business. This relatively new and rapidly expanding discipline integrates computer, mathematical, statistical, biological, chemical, physical, and etc methods to solve problems in bioinformatics. The program is designed to offer students the broad-based interdisciplinary research training necessary for professional work in industry and continued post-graduate training in the field.
Admission Requirements
The candidates for admission to the program are expected to be graduates of Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Science, Health, Engineering or Business with a GPA of at least 3.0. Students admitted to the program are required to take and pass recommended courses to remedy any deficiency in a discipline that serves as a foundation for the study of bioinformatics.
