About the Program

The Master of Bioinformatics degree represents a new type of master degree, the "Professional Science Master.” It is designed for the entrepreneurial student seeking an accelerated master program that blends comprehensive coursework, reduced research experience and a professional externship, all designed to provide a solid foundation for entry-level employment in industry, government or academia.

The centerpiece of the Master of Bioinformatics option is the opportunity to intern for a full semester at an academic, government, or industry location. VCU’s Master of Bioinformatics program was developed in part through a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
