Professional Science Master's in Bioinformatics PSM

The PSM scientific curriculum, together with “Plus” component for professional skills and the immersive Internship prepare the PSM graduates to pursue a professional career. The Computational Sciences Concentration (CS) allows students to gain knowledge and industry experience in developing bioinformatics methods, tools and/or databases for modern biotechnology or medicine. The Life Sciences Concentration (LSC) allows students to gain knowledge and industry experience in applying bioinformatics methods, tools and databases as an integral approach to modern biotechnology and medicine. The BINF-PSM graduates will be well positioned to pursue a professional career in industry, business, government agencies, or non-profit organizations.

Our Graduate programs in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology aim to train the next generation of researchers and professionals who will play a key role in multi- and interdisciplinary teams, bridging life sciences and computational sciences. The program is administered through its academic home, the Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS), and is coordinated by the newly established Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CBCB). The scientific curriculum is built upon the research and educational strength from departments across the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Earth, Ocean and Environment.
