Capstone Program
Integrated MS in Computational Biology (5CB)
January–May (spring semester)
Sponsorship Fee: $5,000–$15,000 per team, 1-3 teams
The Integrated Master of Science in Computational Biology is designed to leverage the training provided by our highly rigorous undergraduate programs and provide advanced training for students who want advanced experiences in the computational biology field. The capstone, as a component of this training, further prepares students to become immediate leaders in the field after program completion by providing an invaluable training opportunity to get insight into the differences between industry and academic projects under the guidance of an industry partner.

Master of Science in Automated Science (MSAS)
September–December (fall semester)
January–May (spring semester)
Sponsorship Fee: $5,000–$15,000 per team, 3-5 teams
The MSAS program trains practitioners in the design, implementation and application of laboratory automation and artificial intelligence in biological research. Students train with world-class faculty, including those from the top-ranked School of Computer Science. Graduates become leaders in the emerging paradigm of automated science — the combination of robotic scientific instruments, machine learning and artificial intelligence for iteratively building predictive models from experimental data and selecting new experiments to improve them.
