Master of Science in Informatics

The Master of Science in Informatics (MS INFO) is designed for students who are contemplating entering a specific track in the Ph.D. Informatics program and have a specific faculty member who is recommending them to apply to the MS Informatics program. By starting off in the MS Informatics, the student is introduced to the subject matter which will help them decide if the Ph.D. Informatics program is right for them. If it is the right program, the student can complete the MS Informatics degree (2 year program) and then apply to the Ph.D. Informatics program.  Students may be able to transfer 30 credits of graduate work towards the Ph.D. degree. In special circumstances, after completing the first year of the MS Informatics program, a faculty member may recommend that the student apply to the Ph.D. Informatics program. When this happens, student who complete 1 year of the MS Informatics program may be able to transfer some of those credits to the Ph.D. Informatics program.
