The graduate degree program in scientific computation encompasses course work and research on the fundamental principles necessary to use intensive computation to support research in the physical, biological, and social sciences and engineering. There is a special emphasis on research issues, state-of-the-art methods, and the application of these methods to outstanding problems in science, engineering, and other fields that use scientific computation, numerical analysis and algorithm development, symbolic and logic analysis, high-performance computing tools, supercomputing and heterogeneous networks, and visualization.
Program Delivery
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Prerequisites for Admission
Special Application Requirements:
The minor requires the approval of the director of graduate studies.
For an online application or for more information about graduate education admissions, see the General Information section of this website.
Program Requirements
Use of 4xxx courses toward program requirements is permitted under certain conditions with adviser approval.
The master's minor requires approval of the director of graduate studies and a minimum of 6 credits from the core curriculum; the credits may not be from courses in the student's major field. A doctoral minor requires approval of the director of graduate studies and a minimum of 12 credits (a minimum of 6 of these in core courses with remaining credits from supplementary courses). A student may use one course from their major field to satisfy the requirement of a minor in scientific computation, provided there is no rule prohibiting this in the student's major field.
