Bioinformatics – M.S.

Bioinformatics – UMaine 4 + 1 with Northeastern University 

The 4+1 M.S in Bioinformatics offered jointly between The University of Maine and the Roux Institute at Northeastern University gives students the opportunity to earn a B.S. from UMaine and an M.S. degree in Bioinformatics from Northeastern University at an accelerated rate after completing their undergraduate degree. The Roux Institute at Northeastern University is a new graduate education and research campus in Portland, Maine that was founded by a generous, $100 million investment from David and Barbara Roux as a mechanism for building the technology and life science ecosystem in Maine.

Northeastern University’s M.S. in Bioinformatics program provides robust cross-disciplinary training featuring a co-op experience in an industrial or academic setting. The M.S. program provides training in both the life sciences and computer sciences through online courses. Northeastern’s program currently has a 94% employment rate within three years of graduation. Students in the 4+1 program take specific University of Maine courses during their junior and senior years to accelerate their graduate studies at Northeastern.
