degree called Computational Sciences.  The degree will appeal to high school students who want to use high performance computing to solve scientific experiments -- experiments that are revolutionizing science.

Our major industries -- finance firms on Wall Street, pharmaceutical firms and telecommunications companies – all increasingly need and depend upon computational scientists. That is why NJIT decided to offer the degree. And for students who prefer academic research, this degree will prepare them for graduate study in applied math, engineering, quantitative biology and physics. Various options allow students to pursue computational science in the context of different fields.

Bachelor of Science in Computational Sciences (657 KB, pdf)

To adjust to the growing importance of computing in all of science, Oregon State University's Physics Department now offers a four-year, research-rich curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in computational physics

innovative new degree that addresses the growing national and regional demand for trained computational scientists.

In many branches of science, computation is given equal weight to theory and experiment.

"I think the key thing that got me this job was my solid training in finite difference methods, Monte Carlo methods, PDEs etc etc... They've been looking for someone with my exact training for some time now!"

The degree program is built on a core of advanced mathematics and computer science courses linked with a specialist area of science. These core courses provide the training in the formulation, analysis, modelling and simulation of problems in science, engineering, commerce and industry. Typical areas of specialisation are physics, chemistry, biology, geology, geography, environmental sciences, applied mathematics, astrophysics, economics, finance and computer science. In this way the general mathematical and computing skills obtained from the core courses can be applied in a sophisticated manner in a specialisation area. Students will take two computational science extension activities which aim to introduce students to the application of computational science to scientific and industrial problems.

In today's economy, there is an increasing need for students who possess scientific and computational expertise as well as management and leadership skills.

Computational modeling, simulation and optimization in the engineering sciences is a multi-disciplinary key discipline for academic research and industrial development as well as one of TU Darmstadt's central focus areas of research and education.

too many science and engineering graduates do not have strong enough backgrounds in computation to take advantage of these recent developments, while many computer science graduates do not have the background in mathematics and science needed for technical fields.

Each student major in computational science from the outset should decide which other science discipline he or she wish to take besides the computational science proper. The choice at the moment is chemistry, physics, or mathematics. Computational science with biology is not available, but we may introduce it in the future.

Computational Science Undergraduate Programs

Mathematical and Computational Science is an interdepartmental undergraduate program designed for students interested in applying mathematical ideas and analysis to problems in the biological, computational, financial or management sciences. For more information, please see our introduction to MCS.

SCIENCE OF COMPUTING and SCIENCE DONE COMPUTATIONALLY!

Computational Science blends several fields including computer science, applied mathematics, visualization, and application sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, earth sciences, business and others.

A minor in computational science through the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science will provide students who already have expertise in science and engineering with skills they can use to complete computationally based projects. Further, the draft competencies created by the participating faculty have been reviewed and approved by a business advisory committee, meaning that when you enter the workforce with this background, you will have the specific skills sought by employers.

The COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS MAJOR prepares the student to enter a career in industry, government, or business immediately upon graduation or to enter graduate school in computational science, or related areas of applied mathematics such as statistics, management science, operations research, actuarial science or computational biology.

In many branches of science, computation is given equal weight to theory and experiment.
