Comparison of Online and Onsite Bioinformatics Instruction for a Fully Online Bioinformatics Master’s Program

The completely online Master of Science in Bioinformatics program differs from the onsite program only in the mode of content delivery. Analysis of student satisfaction indicates no statistically significant difference between most online and onsite student responses, however, online and onsite stud...
