Overall Quality Is a Must
The overall quality of a master's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major.

- Major Focus - How much a school focuses on bioinformatics students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - The number of bioinformatics students who choose to seek a master's degree at the school.
- Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
- Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized bioinformatics related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for bioinformatics students working on their master's degree.
