Eastern Michigan University Plans to Offer MS in Bioinformatics

Mar 29, 2004

NEW YORK, March 29 (GenomeWeb News) - Eastern Michigan University is preparing to offer a new masters of science program in bioinformatics beginning in 2005, news website Mlive.com reported last week.

 

According to Mlive.com, the first students in the program were admitted last fall through EMU's individualized studies program, while the masters program was under review. The bioinformatics program received the approval of the Board of Regents two weeks ago, Mlive.com said.
