  2. Cheminformatics Education at IU • School of Informatics degree programs • BS, MS, PhD • Graduate Certificate in Chemical Informatics • Programs offered at both the Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Bloomington (IUB) campuses

  3. Degree Programs: BS and MS • BS degree • 34 credit hours of Informatics courses • Cognate area, usually a minor in areas such as chemistry, biology, computer science, fine arts, business, etc. • MS degree: 36 semester hours • IUB: Bioinformatics, Chemical Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction • IUPUI: also New Media, Health Informatics, Laboratory Informatics

  4. IU Undergraduate Courses • I371 Chemical Informatics (1 cr. hour) • I372 Molecular Modeling (2 cr. hours)

  5. Indiana University MS in Chemical Informatics Major aspects of chemical informatics • Information Acquisition: Methods for generating and collecting data empirically (experimentation) or from theory (molecular simulation) • Information Management: Storage and retrieval of information • Information Use: Data Analysis, correlation, and application to problems in the chemical and biochemical sciences

  6. MS in Chemical Informatics: Coursework (36 credit hours) • I501 Introduction to Informatics (3 cr. hrs.) • I502 Information Management (3 cr. hrs.) • I571 Chemical Information Technology (3 cr. hrs.) • I572 Computational Chemistry and Molecular Modeling (3 cr. hrs.) • Electives: 18 hrs., including (strongly recommended): • L519 Bioinformatics: Theory and Application (3 cr. hrs.) • L529 Bioinformatics in Molecular Biology and Genetics: Practical Applications (4 cr. hrs.) • Capstone project (6 cr. hrs.)

  7. PhD in Informatics • Began in August 2005 • Tracks: • bioinformatics; chemical informatics; health informatics; human-computer interaction design; social and organizational informatics • Under development: • complex systems, networks, modeling and simulation; cybersecurity; discovery and application of information; logical and mathematical foundations; music informatics

  8. Degree Programs: PhD in Informatics • The 90 hours of credit for the PhD in Informatics (cheminformatics track) consist of: • 27 hours of required informatics courses • I501 Introduction to Informatics (3 cr.) • Core informatics courses (9 cr.) • Seminars in the cheminformatics track (6 cr.) • Professionalism/Pedagogy course (3 cr.) • Research Rotation (6 cr.) • 12 hours in theory or methodology courses (or credits from an MS degree) • 21 hours of electives (or credits from an MS degree) • 30 hours of dissertation research.
