在这里学什么？

The Accelerated Master’s Degree Program is for interested U-M undergraduates of junior standing. Participation allows students to receive both an undergraduate degree in their home program, plus a Master's in Bioinformatics, in five years. Bioinformatics is a modern interdisciplinary field using computing, mathematical modeling and/or statistical analysis applied to biological or medical data. This is a growing field with potential for academia, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, and hospitals. With increasing electronic health records, multiple bio-marker and genetic data sets accessible, a Master's in Bioinformatics is also useful training for future physicians.

The Accelerated Master’s Degree Program is an excellent way for UM undergraduates to acquire applicable knowledge and skills in bioinformatics as they complete their studies, plus explore overlapping interests. Students start taking Bioinformatics graduate-level courses while in their senior year of UM undergraduate study. Students complete both their undergraduate degree and a Bioinformatics Master’s degree within five years. Undergraduates who are pursuing a dual degree are ineligible for the Bioinformatics AMDP.

Coursework

A total of 30 credit hours, plus relevant research experience are required for the Master’s degree which includes the following courses and electives:

Introductory Bioinformatics (BIOINF 527 or BIOINF 529) Computing & Informatics – 3 or 4 credits, several choices Probability & Statistics –3 or 4 credits, 1 or 2 courses Molecular Biology – any graduate level or an undergraduate course approved for graduate credit Two Advanced Bioinformatics and/or Computational Biology courses Two semesters of Bioinformatics Journal Club; 1 term of BIOINF 602 and 1 term of BIOINF 603

Electives for the MS degree can be any of the listed courses, or any graduate course in the relevant topics (biology, computing, statistics). Applied math or applied computing courses will be considered only if in relation to biology topics.

Up to 6 credits for the undergraduate degree may be taken during graduate enrollment.

Up to 15 credits can be transferred from the undergraduate years; up to 9 credits can be double counted.

A transfer credit is one that is not needed for ANY graduation requirements – not for 120 credits, not for LSA distribution, nor your major or minor – your undergraduate degree would be the same without this.

Double counted credit: Only credit for free or technical electives in your major.

Please note: As an exception AMDP students whose undergraduate degree is Statistics, LSI, or CSE are allowed to double count BIOINF 527. CMB undergraduates are allowed to double count MCDB 427 even though it is required.
