Overview
The Master of Science in Computational Pathology and Digital Medicine (MSCPDM) at the University of Jamestown is a fully online, two-year graduate program designed to prepare students to lead in the growing fields of computational pathology, digital medicine, and biomedical data science.
Students develop the technical, analytical, and ethical foundations to apply artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and bioinformatics to real-world clinical and research challenges -- all while learning in a flexible, fully remote format. With a strong foundation in data science, digital diagnostics, and interdisciplinary collaboration, students are equipped to take on high-impact leadership roles across academic, clinical, and industry settings.
