Academics
The Ph.D. program is interdepartmental and the result of a collaboration between the four academic units that comprise the CCMB: Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry.
The Undergraduate program offers three possible specializations in Computational Biology: Computer Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Applied Mathematics & Statistics. The program requires a senior capstone experience that pairs students and faculty in creative research collaborations.
