(non-thesis) On Campus   The genetic information carried within us is the key to understanding how we function in health and what goes wrong when we suffer disease and why one patient will respond well to a certain drug while another will have debilitating side-effects. It also allows us to identify the best "molecular targets" to zero in on when designing agents to fight infecting bacteria or viruses. University of the Sciences in Philadelphia offers both the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Bioinformatics. The program is designed so that students who complete the Bachelor's degree at USP can realistically expect to complete the requirements for a Master's degree with one additional year of study. Students whose background does not include extensive preparation in Bioinformatics and/or Computer Science should anticipate a longer period of study. The requirements for the Master's degree are designed with a balanced emphasis on both basic science (biology and biochemistry), and on computing, with special focus on the special programming skills most needed in today's pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required: 30  Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements TOEFL  Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $ 1189.00  Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 93  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 237  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1058  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $25392  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
