Master of Science in Bioinformatics

12 courses, 36 credits
This program is available on campus, with some courses available online. GPS anticipates that the program may be available solely online by Fall 2013.

The Master of Science in Bioinformatics includes the completion of six core courses and six elective courses. Program Pre-Requirements are offered, and some, all, or none may be required per decision of the Admissions Committee.

Students are required to take and pass General, Organic and Biochemistry and Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology prior to enrolling in any other biology related course. Upon successful completion, students may choose to enroll in the following biology related courses: Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis, Nucleic Acid Sequence and Structure Analysis and Probability and Statistics. The remaining biology courses can only be taken upon successful completion of these courses. The biology related courses are structured in such a way to aid students in building a strong foundation of knowledge, which is drawn upon each additional course(s). Please note that the scripting, programming, and elective courses from category B may be taken in any order and at any time in the program.

Please also see more details on the Bioinformatics Program. You may also download the current Bioinformatics Program brochure (Adobe Reader required).
