CBB offers a Ph.D. program with an en-route Master’s degree, as well a terminal Master’s degree program.
The CBB Ph.D. program is part of the Yale combined program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). BBS is an umbrella program that incorporates a number of different areas of biological research. Students apply to the CBB track of the BBS program and are part of this track for their first year of studies. After their first year, students join the CBB interdepartmental graduate program and work towards a degree in Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics. Alternatively, students may join any of the other departments associated with BBS if they find that another department better fits their interest after the first year.
CBB also offers a terminal Master’s degree program with a Computational Biology or Biomedical Informatics concentration. The terminal Master’s degree program is not part of the BBS program.
