COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE PROGRAM OF STUDY
COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE SAMPLE COURSE OF STUDY
This degree program prepares students for careers in software engineering, data science, database design & development, and much more. Students practice their computational and quantitative skills in projects relative to their concentration or interests and have interdisciplinary opportunities to study and research with other University departments. Students will:
- Be immersed into a particular field of applied computing
- Have opportunities to do significant research led by award-winning faculty
- Develop scientific programs in a high-level language such as Java, C/C++, or Python
- Interact with the local community in projects advancing computer and computing technologies
Students learn to develop and apply computational models to real-world problems, in areas such as computational biology, scientific visualization, and beyond. Graduates of this program will be able to use computing theories and software techniques in professional roles in science, engineering, social science, and business.
