专业概况

在这里学什么？

The emphasis of the MS in Bioinformatics program is preparation for mid-level industrial positions in bioinformatics, and the MS degree constitutes a “Pre-professional MS.”

Learning Outcomes

Students graduating with an MS in Bioinformatics are expected to: Demonstrate mastery of the core concepts of Bioinformatics, including computational biology, database design and implementation, and probability and statistics; Demonstrate the ability to apply skills in a professional environment via an industrial or academic internship in Bioinformatics; Be able to effectively communicate scientific information in written and oral form.

Course Requirements

The master’s degree requires 32 credits of coursework. In order to receive a master’s degree, students must demonstrate mastery of the required subject matter (no lower than a B in all required courses). Course requirements are as follows:

CAS BI 552 Molecular Biology I (Students may take CAS BI 553, Molecular Biology II, if approved by their advisor) ENG BE 562 Computational Biology: Genomes, Networks, Evolution (Students with no prior experience or exposure to bioinformatics application should take ENG BF 527, Bioinformatics Applications, before taking ENG BE 562) ENG BF 768 Biological Database Systems ENG BF 778 Physical Chemistry for Systems Biology ENG BF 821 Bioinformatics Graduate Seminar (2 cr each; 4 cr total) ENG BF 541 Bioinformatics Internship

Fulfillment of required course equivalents will be determined based on documented previous academic and/or work experience. The student and his or her advisor will petition the curriculum committee for such equivalencies. When either past work or an alternate course has been accepted as a core equivalent, the student’s advisor will recommend other courses to fulfill the 20 core credit hours. Advanced elective courses should be taken in place of any waived course requirements.

The remaining credits needed to complete the requirements for the MS degree will consist of electives and/or additional research projects.
