The Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering (GSBSE) has developed a new online Professional Science Masters program in bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the application of mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches to understand biological processes. The PSM in bioinformatics is an online program and includes interdisciplinary classes across the fields of mathematics, computer science, spatial information science and engineering, and molecular and cell biology. GSBSE faculty from the University of Maine, the Jackson Laboratory, Mt. Desert Island Biological Laboratory, University of New England, University of Southern Maine and Maine Medical Center Research Institute will be teaching the courses for this online degree program. The PSM provides an opportunity for advanced training directly relevant to current knowledge for their professional careers. Students entering the program are expected to come from a cell and molecular biology background and require more intensive training in math, computer, and information science, or from the mathematics, computer or information sciences disciplines and need training in cell and molecular biology. The program requires fifteen credits of bioinformatics courses, nine credits of enrichment courses, and six credits of applied field experience. Graduates of the Professional Science Masters in Bioinformatics are prepared for a diverse range of careers in biotechnology, infectious diseases, pharmaceutical biomedical research, environmental sciences, and forensics to name a few. The professional component of the Program prepares our graduates for leadership roles in the commercial, government and non-profit markets. The program’s interdisciplinary approach, depending on the student’s background can prepare you for positions as Computational Biologist, Biology Database Specialist, Bioinformatics Specialist, Bioinformatics Analysts among others. As a graduate of the PSM in Bioinformatics, you are transforming the landscape of business, technology, and science and you’re part of a growing trend in an emerging cross-disciplinary approach between the scientific and technical fields.
A sample schedule for the course of study is provided below Fall First Year (6 cr)
Spring First Year (5 cr)
Summer First Year (3 cr)
Fall Second Year (4 cr)
Spring Second Year (9 cr)
Summer Second Year (3 cr)
The applied field experience will be self-directed and will be scheduled at the convenience of the student. With permission, other courses may be substituted for those listed for the Bioinformatics Core or Plus Element courses. In addition, as new courses are developed for online delivery, other courses may be added to the Bioinformatics Core and Plus Element courses as they become available. Prior graduate courses that have been taken by students, including courses considered for transfer will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The 6 credits of applied field experience are a cornerstone of the PSM degree. The applied field experience will integrate computer science, mathematics, biomedical sciences and plus element courses into a project that is relevant to the students’ current or future employment. The students will present their complete projects before a committee of faculty and industry leaders.
A strong applicant will have an undergraduate degree in the sciences, engineering, or related discipline, with an outstanding academic record and strong GRE scores. Students entering the program are expected to come from a cell and molecular biology background and require more intensive training in math, computer, and information science, or from the mathematics, computer or information sciences disciplines and need training in cell and molecular biology. The general GRE examination is required for review by the GSBSE Admissions Committee, except when the applicant has an advanced degree, in which case this requirement is waived. The GRE subject examination is not required. Evaluation for admission will also consider the motivation and career goals of the applicant in addition to research experience and the strength of recommendations. The application packet should include:
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for Fall semester matriculation and program start. The application review process starts in early January. Notification of admission into the program occurs throughout the Spring. To begin the application process, follow our helpful application guide here. When you’re familiar with the process you can begin your online application to the University of Maine Graduate School!
According to AAAS Science Journal, there is an “abundant demand for scientists with professional skills.” The Boston Globe called Bioinformatics a “high demand field within the life-sciences industry” further saying that “pay goes up dramatically for those with industry experience and with a master’s or doctoral degree.” A March 2014 article in the New York Times called it “A Degree Where Techie Meets Business Smarts.“ Higher salaries are typically found in the private sector, which recognizes and values the PSM Program. As a graduate of the PSM in Bioinformatics, you are transforming the landscape of business, technology, and science and you’re part of a growing trend in an emerging cross-disciplinary approach between the scientific and technical fields.
