• Informaticists apply their interdisciplinary scientific and technological skillsets to analyze and develop solutions for problems central to contemporary science. The MS in Informatics enables students to either enter the informatics workforce or continue on to a doctoral program of study.
  • Individual and team-based assignments will enable students to build mastery of important informatics skills and their practical applications in areas that include population health, bioinformatics, remote sensing, ecological modeling, wearable computing, and machine learning and data science.
  • The non-thesis option of this program allows students to complete their degree through coursework and project-based learning, while the thesis option is focused on engagement with research projects under the mentorship of a faculty member and culminating in the preparation and defense of a thesis.
