Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics (Academic)

Up one level:

Master of Sciences in Biomedical Informatics

This degree is designed for individuals who wish to undertake in-depth study of biomedical informatics with research on a full-time basis, typically supported with fellowship funding. Normally, a student spends two years in the program and implements and documents a substantial project during the second year. The first year involves acquiring the fundamental concepts and tools through course work and research project involvement. All first- and second-year students are expected to devote 50 percent or more of their time participating in research projects. Research rotations are not required, but can be done with approval of the academic adviser or training program director. Graduates of this program are prepared to contribute creatively to basic or applied projects in biomedical informatics. This degree requires a written research paper to be approved by two faculty members.
