The Master of Science in Bioinformatics at Georgia Tech is a focused, interdisciplinary professional graduate program consisting of 36 credit hours over three semesters. The curriculum blends coursework in computer science, advanced molecular biology and biochemistry, statistics, and bioinformatics, culminating in a full-time summer internship at a corporate or academic bioinformatics group. The program is designed to prepare graduates for rapidly growing career opportunities in bioinformatics and computational biology, with training aligned to the demands of industry and academia. While a thesis is not required, most students participate in research or professional internships, and there are competitive opportunities for graduate research assistantships (GRA) after the first semester.
