The Master of Science in Bioinformatics at San José State University features an interdisciplinary
curriculum spanning biology, computer science, and mathematics. From decoding genomes
in precision medicine to tracking biodiversity with environmental samples, modern
biology generates massive datasets that require computational and mathematical tools
to interpret. This program equips students to tackle these complex biological questions
by combining rigorous mathematical foundations with hands-on computational skills,
preparing graduates for careers in academia and the biotech industry.
