Education: Johns Hopkins University MS in Bioinformatics online degree

Master of Science in Bioinformatics Online Degree

Johns Hopkins University continues to provide innovative graduate programs with a new option for students pursuing a degree in bioinformatics. In the spring of 2004, the MS in Bioinformatics was launched to meet the growing need for professionals trained in bioinformatics/computational biology. For students who require flexibility in scheduling, or who cannot relocate to the Baltimore/Washington area, we now offer an option to complete the MS in Bioinformatics degree fully online.

Our unique model for online education ensures students the same academic program as our onsite students and promises to engage them through a variety of asynchronous interactions. Students interact with the instructor and other students through threaded discussions, and informal meetings such as chats and question and answer sessions. Course content is delivered via text notes, power point, voice-over power point, and streaming video in order to meet the needs of various learning styles.

Course requirements for the online degree are the same as the standard degree. However, not all bioinformatics courses are available as online courses. For a current list of courses offered online, visit the course requirements page:
