Master of Science in Biomedical Image Computing (BIC)

Biomedical image computing is a large, rapidly growing industry and research field comprising the formation and analysis of diagnostic images. Both image system design and biomedical image analysis currently are being revolutionized at a tremendous rate by the emergence of machine learning techniques. This Master of Science in Biomedical Image Computing degree addresses the need for efficient, rigorous training focused at the intersection of biomedical imaging science, high-performance computing and machine learning.

Students can leverage their physics, math and computational skills to make an impact in the medical and healthcare industry. No biology or medicine background needed.
