Application information

Entry requirements

Students applying to either the Master’s or PhD program in Bioinformatics are evaluated on their background in three key areas: mathematics and statistics; genetics and biological sciences; and computer science. Students should have completed at least two semesters of calculus, and additional courses in mathematics and statistics are preferred. Evidence of basic computer programming skills is required. A course in genetics is strongly encouraged. Previous research experience is a significant advantage. Application deadlines: Fall: January 15

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
