Computational science applies skills from information technology and mathematics to solve problems that can only be tackled through computation. Such problems occur increasingly in all areas of the physical and biological sciences, and engineering. Recent advances in technology give scientists the ability to collect and process vast amounts of data and build sophisticated models that would previously have been impossible. Computational science is a dual major that builds on any single major, and is specifically designed to provide all science students with cutting-edge computational and quantitative skills that are relevant to their own particular needs.
