The Biomedical Data Science and Informatics M.S. is an interdisciplinary program that leverages the broad strengths of a Tier 1 Research University, spanning the fields of computing, engineering, mathematics, biology, and public health. The objective of the program is to produce the next generation of data scientists, prepared to manage and analyze big data sources from mobile sensors to genomic and imaging technologies. Graduates will possess the necessary skills for informatics careers in biology, medicine, and public health, with a focus on the development of prescriptive analytics derived from large fields of data.

Graduates of the program will be able to:

  • Manage and analyze data, developing prescriptive analytics from large data sets.
  • Apply technological approaches in a biomedical context.
  • Identify the principles and limitations of public health programs as they relate to epidemiological problems.

Courses can be taken at The Medical University of South Carolina, the University Center of Greenville, and the Zucker Family Graduate Education Center at the North Charleston CURI campus, in addition to the courses offered at Clemson’s main campus.

Typical time to completion is three to four full-time academic semesters. The program is not available online.
