Years of research into new applications of mathematics, computer science, and engineering in the biomedical disciplines coupled with today's massive amounts of data and information, demonstrates the need to train practitioners and scientists in the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics.

In 2001, the Bioinformatics Graduate Program was created by joining the disciplinary strengths found in the departments of Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Bio, and Electrical Engineering at Marquette University in conjunction with the bioinformatics and biomedical research conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin.  This program offers a joint Master of Science degree from both Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

The joint M.S. degree is aimed primarily at prospective and career-changing students whose undergraduate and graduate education prepares them for a multi-disciplinary career in biomedical science using informatics.  By scheduling many of the graduate level courses in the evening, the program allows for part-time graduate studies for students already active in full-time employment.  The program is also suitable for more traditional, full-time graduate students.

Graduates of the program have been successful in finding positions as bioinformatics specialist, computational biologist, computer programmer, senior research associate, and database specialist.
