BIOINFORMATICSMaster of Science, Ph.D. and Ph.D. Minor

Today’s science and technology capture immense amounts of biological data—big data that holds the key to resolving life’s greatest questions.

Finding such answers requires people uniquely trained in data analytics and life sciences to understand and apply these data.

Using the latest computational languages and mathematical modeling tools, Bioinformatics will prepare you to design and execute translational research linking biological data to medicine and drug discovery. You’ll experience excellent career opportunities in the biopharmaceutical, biotech, IT industries, as well as government and academia.

It’s a field with untold promise but one guarantee—you will be at the cutting edge of helping people lead better, healthier lives.

IUPUI’s Biomedical Research Campus

The IU School of Medicine, Regenstrief Institute, IU Simon Cancer center and multiple research centers make IUPUI a leader in cross-disciplinary research.

HEALTH INFORMATICSMaster of Science, Ph.D., and Ph.D. Minor (certificates)

Dedicated to accessing, analyzing and using patient data in meaningful ways, health informatics is commanding attention for its ability to deliver new information systems and technologies—advances that result in delivering higher quality healthcare at lower cost.

It’s a field with immeasurable value and a bright future. Healthcare systems and other employers look to health informatics graduates to fill key roles that make decisions and set policy. And with government investing $19 billion in health information development and implementation, career prospects are rising even higher.

Using patient data, electronic medical records and health IT, you’ll shape the future of healthcare and clinical systems in the everchanging digital world.

World-Class PartnersCollaborate with researchers from the Regenstrief Institute, the IU schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry Public Health and Purdue School of Pharmacy and others to advance healthcare.

Bioinformatics helps bridge the gap between biology andtechnology, helping

make transition to medical school

easier.

The School of Informatics and Computing has unique features,

the program is up and coming and

INFORMATICSMaster of Science

As the pools of information and data that both enhance and hamper virtually every field and profession grow, demand for professionals trained in the application of informatics principals is increasing.

Complement your existing field of expertise with graduate-level informatics competencies. Combine your disciplinary passions with cutting-edge techniques for predictive analytics, data management, and interface implementation. Go beyond hardware and software to manage projects integrating principles of information systems and design, human-centered computing, and other disciplines.

Our graduates are highly skilled and well versed in the principles and tools of informatics and information technology, preparing them for technology jobs in their field of choice or can

serve as a conversion course to prepare those with non-IT background for IT-related doctoral studies.

HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI)Master of Science, Ph.D. and Ph.D. Minor (certificate)

Passionate about designing technology that makes sense? Then you’ll enjoy a career in Human-Computer Interaction. Using research and principles from design, psychology, business, engineering and computing, you’ll create novel interactive technology that not only solves problems, but is intuitive, functional and enjoyable to use.

Ever wonder how Apple made the iPhone so unique that people line up just to get one? Or how Amazon’s Kindle changed how people read? Or why some websites are so easy to use, but others make you scream?

HCI focuses on users and how they experience technology. In our applied, research-based program, you’ll develop interactive applications that deliver results. You’ll add more functionality to the web than thought possible. And you’ll design technologies people want to use.

The School provides the opportunity for students to

learn on their own, yet provides

enough guidance and resources to

assist them in their future success.
