Master of Science in Bioinformatics

Johns Hopkins University has developed an innovative graduate program that prepares bioscience professionals for success in bioinformatics. Drawing from the strengths of the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering this program fully integrates the computer science, bioscience, and bioinformatics needed to pursue a career in this dynamic new field.

This program is designed for working adults. All classes are offered in the evening or on weekends. Online classes offer students additional flexibility in scheduling. Students take 11 courses to complete degree requirements, five core courses, four concentration courses, an elective from bioscience and an elective from computer science. After completion of the core and concentration courses, students may choose an independent study project as one or both of their electives. Students have up to five years to complete the program.
