Master of Science [M.S] [Bioinformatics] From Hood College

Students will acquire a full complement of skills that are highly sought regionally, nationally, and abroad. Employers are seeking bioinformaticians with a strong understanding of the underlying biology and the ability to analyze and interpret complex data. ?Students will learn to perform robust and reproducible analyses using existing computational resources and will gain the skills necessary to build new computational tools adapted to evolving data types. ?In addition, students will develop the leadership and communication skills necessary to function effectively in a complex matrix environment.??

The MS in Bioinformatics has the following learning outcomes:

• Demonstrate proficiency in R, Python, Unix/Linux and an understanding of programming best practices. Obtain, utilize, archive, and share data using the best practices for reproducible research.
• Understand, interpret and present results from ??omics? data, including Next Generation Sequencing results.
• Utilize leadership skills to plan and execute a project in a matrix environment.
