WPI's Master of Science program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) equips you to become a multidisciplinary scientist skilled in computer science, informatics, statistics, and life sciences.
Unlike other institutions that treat Bioinformatics as merely a Biology specialization, WPI's BCB program equally integrates three core disciplines: Biology, Computer Science, and Mathematics. You'll gain proficiency across these fields while focusing on one, collaborating with leading researchers to transform vast biological datasets into groundbreaking discoveries that advance healthcare and environmental solutions. To earn the M.S. degree in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, students must complete at least 33 graduate-level credits.
