The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science offers both M.S. and Ph.D. study in Computational Sciences. Computational Sciences refers to the discovery, implementation, simulation, and application of models to solve scientific and engineering problems. Commonly, these efforts involve the development of new computational methodologies, computer software and/or computer systems to solve large-scale or multi-scale scientific problems that are intractable through purely theoretical methods. Our program is designed to equip graduates with a distinctive blend of theoretical and computational skills, for employment in industry, research laboratories and institutions of higher education. While the bulk of their coursework will be undertaken in this Department, their research topics may range across the computational aspects of a broad spectrum of disciplines.
