| Founded in 1829, RIT is an internationally recognized leader in professional and career-oriented education enrolling more than 15,000 students in eight colleges. RIT was the first university in the United States to offer BS degrees in Biotechnology, Information Technology and Software Engineering. This history of educational leadership is again manifested in our Bioinformatics programs.
The Bioinformatics MS program at RIT represents a truly interdisciplinary degree, developed by faculty in the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, and Information Technology. With the guidance of individuals in the bioinformatics and biotechnology industries throughout the country we have introduced 18 new courses, and continually develop new ones, that integrate the interdisciplinary skills and knowledge intrinsic to bioinformatics. | |
