Bioinformatics applies computational methods and tools to enhance our understanding of biological systems. This impactful field drives major research efforts across Indiana and at IUPUI.
Our Master of Science in Bioinformatics program prepares you for cutting-edge scientific work in both industry and academic settings.
By merging biological knowledge with computational skills, you'll analyze vast datasets and perform research in areas like genomic medicine, agricultural biotechnology, and precision healthcare.
The School of Informatics and Computing (SoIC) faculty recognize that strong graduate candidates may excel in either technology or biology—though not necessarily both.
Our professors guide students in crafting personalized curricula that bridge these disciplines, combining informatics, computer science, mathematics, and life sciences to develop balanced expertise. We equip graduates for thriving careers in bioinformatics. This 36-credit-hour program synthesizes knowledge from computing, information systems, mathematics, and biological sciences, requiring foundational knowledge in both computer science and biology.
Full-time students can complete the degree within two years.
