Computational Mathematics and Statistics is an advanced skills, career-preparation program that culminates in a Master of Science degree.
Primary Strengths
The Computational Mathematics and Statistics program’s primary strengths are:
The program in Computational Mathematics and Statistics leading to a Master of Science degree is a 36 credit multidisciplinary program combining the mathematics, computer science, and statistics resources found in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The degree takes advantage of faculty strengths: a strong commitment to teaching and active research programs in computational fields, often crossing discipline lines.
The core of the program consists of twelve 1.5 credit mini-courses, four each in mathematics, computer science, and statistics. This portion of the program is designed to ensure a common knowledge base in the three disciplines. Incoming students can, in consultation with the program director, choose to waive one or more core courses based on prior knowledge. Any core courses that are waived are replaced by elective courses. Most courses in the core curriculum have a computational component using a software package or programming language related to that particular core topic. Students who complete the entire core will have facility with at least a computer algebra software package, the Python programming language, the Linux operating system, and a statistical software package.

Although Computational Mathematics and Statistics is an interdisciplinary program encompassing applied mathematics, statistics, and computer science, we do not expect applicants to have a background in all three of these disciplines. However, we do expect that students applying for the program will have already demonstrated proficiency in undergraduate majors-level STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) courses.
We require a TOEFL score of 80 and also IELTS score of 6.5.
Applications for the fall semester completed by the preceding March 1 will receive full consideration for financial aid via assistantships.
