Graduate Education
Informatics education at the graduate level prepares students across a range of core areas, which investigate the abstract properties of representations of data and develop the tools to extract information from data, and domain areas, which provide the context and the meaning of the information. A number of graduate programs offer opportunities through course work and research to gain depth in core areas:
- Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (M.S., Ph.D., UMR and College of Science and Engineering)
- Biostatistics (M.S., M.P.H., Ph.D., School of Public Health)
- Business Analytics (M.S., Carlson School of Management)
- Computer Science (M.S., M.C.S., Ph.D., College of Science and Engineering)
- Computer Science (M.S., UMD)
- Data Science (M.S., College of Science & Engineering)
- Health Informatics (M.S., M.H.I., Ph.D., Academic Health Center)
- Health Services Research, Policy & Administration (M.S., School of Public Health)
