The Master of Science (MS) in Computational Science (COMP) addresses the growing demand for trained computational scientists and engineers, and data scientists. It combines a solid foundation in information technology skills with computational courses in a variety of scientific and engineering areas where computer modeling, simulation, and data analysis play a central role.
Working with an advisor, a student may choose to pursue an area of emphasis. Typical areas of emphasis are:
Modeling & Simulation: Intended for students who wish to learn computational solution techniques for modeling and simulation of scientific and engineering phenomena.
Data Science: Intended for students who wish to learn computational methods for acquiring, extracting, and analyzing large-scale data obtained by observations, experiments, modeling, and database searches.
