Is Grad School Worth It? Find out at tomorrow's info session about Luddy's Master's Degree in BIOINFORMATICS. WED 10/14 at 6:00 PM. Registration link in comments.
Financially, people with graduate degrees continue to out-earn those with a bachelor's degree (find the stats and sources at the end of this post).
In the Bioinformatics master’s program at IU Indy, you’ll learn to analyze biological data and apply computational methods to challenges in genomics, drug development, diagnostics, and environmental health.
You’ll work with faculty to choose courses that match your background and build advanced skills across informatics, computer science, information systems, math, biology, and related fields. Across our biomedical-focused programs, Luddy students are not only learning, they’re contributing. Whether collaborating on interdisciplinary research teams, publishing alongside faculty, or developing innovative tools and applications, they are preparing to lead in a rapidly evolving field.
What you learn in the classroom is complemented with the healthcare hub of the IU Indianapolis campus--home to the largest medical school in the nation, the school of dentistry, Riley Hospital for Children, the IU hospital network, the IU Launch Accelerator for Bioscience (IU LAB), and multiple research institutes.
Across our biomedical-focused programs, Luddy students are not only learning, they’re contributing. Whether collaborating on interdisciplinary research teams, publishing alongside faculty, or developing innovative tools and applications, they are preparing to lead in a rapidly evolving field.
The ecosystem of discovery, education, and application reflects Luddy’s commitment to advancing health through technology.
