2. BIOINFORMATICS
Master of Science, Ph.D. and Ph.D. Minor
Today’s science and technology capture
immense amounts of biological data—big data
that holds the key to resolving life’s greatest
questions.
Finding such answers requires people uniquely
trained in data analytics and life sciences to
understand and apply these data.
Using the latest
computational languages
and mathematical
modeling tools,
Bioinformatics will
prepare you to design
and execute translational
research linking biological
data to medicine and
drug discovery. You’ll
experience excellent
career opportunities in
the biopharmaceutical,
biotech, IT industries, as
well as government and
academia.
It’s a field with untold
promise but one
guarantee—you will
be at the cutting edge
of helping people lead
better, healthier lives.
IUPUI’s Biomedical
Research Campus
The IU School of Medicine, Regenstrief Institute,
IU Simon Cancer center and multiple research
centers make IUPUI a leader in cross-disciplinary
research.
HEALTH INFORMATICS
Master of Science, Ph.D., and Ph.D. Minor
(certificates)
Dedicated to accessing,
analyzing and using
patient data in
meaningful ways,
health informatics is
commanding attention for
its ability to deliver new
information systems and
technologies—advances
that result in delivering
higher quality healthcare at
lower cost.
It’s a field with
immeasurable value and a
bright future. Healthcare
systems and other
employers look to health
informatics graduates to
fill key roles that make
decisions and set policy.
And with government
investing $19 billion
in health information
development and
implementation, career
prospects are rising
even higher.
Using patient data, electronic medical records and
health IT, you’ll shape the future of healthcare and
clinical systems in the everchanging digital world.
World-Class Partners
Collaborate with researchers from the Regenstrief
Institute, the IU schools of Medicine, Nursing,
Dentistry Public Health and Purdue School of
Pharmacy and others to advance healthcare.
Bioinformatics
helps bridge the gap
between biology and
technology, helping
make transition
to medical school
easier.
The School of
Informatics and
Computing has
unique features,
the program is up
and coming and
highly desirable in
the industry and
academia.

3. INFORMATICS
Master of Science
As the pools of information and data that
both enhance and hamper virtually every field
and profession grow, demand for professionals
trained in the application of informatics principals
is increasing.
Complement your
existing field of
expertise with graduate-
level informatics
competencies. Combine
your disciplinary
passions with cutting-
edge techniques for
predictive analytics,
data management, and
interface implementation.
Go beyond hardware
and software to manage
projects integrating
principles of information
systems and design,
human-centered
computing, and other
disciplines.
Our graduates are highly
skilled and well versed
in the principles and
tools of informatics and
information technology,
preparing them for
technology jobs in their
field of choice or can
serve as a conversion course to prepare those with
non-IT background for IT-related doctoral studies.
HUMAN-COMPUTER
INTERACTION (HCI)
Master of Science, Ph.D. and Ph.D. Minor
(certificate)
Passionate about designing technology that
makes sense? Then you’ll enjoy a career in
Human-Computer Interaction. Using research
and principles from design, psychology, business,
engineering and computing, you’ll create novel
interactive technology that not only solves
problems, but is intuitive, functional and enjoyable
to use.
Ever wonder how Apple
made the iPhone so
unique that people line up
just to get one? Or how
Amazon’s Kindle changed
how people read? Or why
some websites are so
easy to use, but others
make you scream?
HCI focuses on users
and how they experience
technology. In our
applied, research-based
program, you’ll develop
interactive applications
that deliver results. You’ll
add more functionality
to the web than thought
possible. And you’ll
design technologies
people want to use.
The School provides
the opportunity
for students to
learn on their own,
yet provides
enough guidance
and resources to
assist them in their
future success.
I am gifted to be
at the IU School
of Informatics and
Computing… the
professors are so
passionate about
technology…they are
encouraging and they
listen….
