Johns Hopkins University offers an innovative graduate degree program that prepares students for success in the field of bioinformatics. The program draws upon the strengths of the Johns Hopkins’ Biotechnology and Engineering programs to create a rigorous and comprehensive bioinformatics curriculum. The program integrates computer science, biosciences and bioinformatics disciplines.
The MS in Bioinformatics program immerses students in the topics and applied methods of computational modeling, molecular biology, systems biology, structural biology, proteomics, genomic sequencing and genomic analysis, microarrays and microarray analysis.
Students in the bioinformatics degree program take 11 courses to complete degree requirements:
- Five core courses
- Four concentration courses
- An elective from bioscience
- An elective from computer science
Graduates with the MS in Bioinformatics will have the educational foundation necessary to interpret complex biological information, perform analysis of sequence data using sophisticated bioinformatics software, and program software when needed. The degree covers not only the theoretical aspects of the field, but also the practical side of bioinformatics, through contact with Hopkins faculty actively developing these technologies.
Flexible Study Opportunities
Designed for working adults, the program offers courses conveniently online and onsite. Student can elect to complete the degree entirely online.
Onsite courses are taught during evenings or weekends at either the university’s Homewood Campus in Baltimore, MD or the Montgomery County Campus in Rockville, MD. Onsite students can choose courses offered in our state-of-the-art laboratory (virtual lab tour).
Students have up to five years to complete their degree. Typically, students working full-time complete the degree in about two years.
