website for requirements that apply to all major fields.
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 Requirements
12
credits are required in the major.
12 credits are required outside the major. 24 thesis credits are required.
This program may be completed with a minor.
Use of 4xxx courses toward program requirements is permitted under certain conditions with adviser approval.
A minimum GPA of 3.00
is required for students to remain in good standing.
A minimum of 24 course credits is required with a minimum of 12 credits in core courses; 24 thesis credits are also required. Students have two options:
1. Ph.D. with supporting program - In addition to the core credits, this option requires 12 credits in subjects that support computational science. These can include core credits beyond the required 12 credits.
2. Ph.D. with minor - In addition to the core credits, this option requires 12 credits in a minor. Many minor programs require more than 12 credits; in such cases, the greater requirements will be in effect. The minor field must be declared before the student takes the preliminary oral exam.
