Computational science is an exciting, emerging field at the intersection of mathematics, science and engineering. Computational scientists construct mathematical models and design numerical simulations that use the power of computation to address challenges in a myriad of other disciplines. With the progressive surge of big data in the digital age, a degree in computational science is extremely advantageous in the job market.
While developing skills in technical reasoning and logic, students in this program will expand their ability to communicate and collaborate across disciplines. An important part of this program is a project or research problem to be completed during senior year. Students generate their own final projects, based on their interests and a real-world issue.
