The Master of Science program in computer science with a concentration in biomedical informatics prepares you to perform research in topics such as genomics and computational systems biology. The concentration is transdisciplinary in nature, integrating technological expertise in the information sciences, computer science, biosciences and statistics with an understanding of the clinical environment of the health care professional. You learn about current issues in clinical practice as well as the use of information systems in health care settings. Biomedical informatics has a key role to play in the transition to more effective and efficient health care through the use of knowledge and computer science principles.

Additional Curriculum Information
Students focus their research in one of the following areas: bioinformatics, biomedical informatics, clinical informatics, imaging informatics or public health informatics. Students complete nine credit hours of BMI concentration courses selected in consultation with the student's graduate advisor. Students should see the academic unit for the list of courses approved for each core area in applications, foundations and systems. Courses that are used to satisfy the concentration requirement on the plan of study cannot be used to satisfy the core requirement. Additionally, courses selected as part of the core or concentration may not be used as other elective coursework on the same plan of study. Students who select the applied project as their culminating experience must complete their project at the direction of an approved computer science faculty member and complete the project course with a "B" grade (scale is 4.00 = "A") or higher. Students complete a minimum of 30 credit hours for the program. At least 21 of these credit hours must be 500-level CSE courses at ASU.
