The Ph.D. in Computational Science provides students the unique opportunity to conduct integrated research in computer science, mathematics and engineering and take courses in the colleges of Science, Engineering and Health Sciences. This allows them to research and study areas that closely align with their career goals. Graduates of the program are skilled in techniques including mathematical modeling and scientific visualization. The University of Texas at El Paso offers studies leading to degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Science (MS) in Computational Science (CPS). This is an interdisciplinary program that combines computer science, mathematics, and other science and engineering disciplines across different departments in the Colleges of Science, Engineering, and Health Sciences, yielding an integrated knowledge base for the effective solution of complex systems in which computer usage plays a fundamental role. A CPS student is expected to acquire an integrated understanding of techniques such as mathematical modeling, algorithmic design, computer simulation, scientific visualization, statistical processing of large datasets, and high-performance computing on parallel and distributed systems.
