Choosing a Great Biomathematics & Bioinformatics School for Your Master's Degree

The biomathematics master's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality biomathematics program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Average Early-Career Salaries

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their master's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your master's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to biomathematics & bioinformatics students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of biomathematics & bioinformatics students who choose to seek a master's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Student Debt - How much debt biomathematics & bioinformatics students go into to obtain their master's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized biomathematics & bioinformatics related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for biomathematics & bioinformatics students working on their master's degree.
