V. Computational Science and Engineering Program

The Computational Science and Engineering Program (CS&E) provides students with the opportunity to study a specific science or engineering discipline along with computing in a multidisciplinary environment. Participating departments include aeronautics & astronautics engineering, agricultural economics, agronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, earth & atmospheric sciences, electrical engineering, food science, industrial & physical pharmacy, mathematics, mechanical engineering, medicinal chemistry & pharmocognosy, nuclear engineering, pharmacy practice, physics, psychology and statistics.

1. Master's Program. The requirements for a master's degree with a specialization in computational science and engineering are the following:
   1. Thirty (30) credit hours including
      1. Six core math courses (MA504/544, MA525/530, MA511/554, 519, 523 and CS 514/515/614/615)
      2. Three CS&E courses, two of which must be core CS&E courses:
         

         CS&E Courses
         CS&E Core Courses		Relevant Math Courses
         CS 501	ECE 563	MA 511	MA 611
         CS 514	ECE 570	MA 518	MA 620
         CS 515	ECE 628	MA 519	MA 642
         CS 525	ECE 580	MA 521	MA 643
         CS 572	IE 535	MA 523
         CS 530	MA 521	MA 524
         CS 520	ME 581	MA 575

   2. Courses on Plan of Study must have all grades of A or B.

2. Doctoral Program. For the Ph.D. degree with a specialization in computational science and engineering, the requirements are the same as for the regular Ph.D. degree in Mathematics except:
   1. Nine credit hours must be from outside Mathematics.
      
   2. Twelve credit hours of CS&E core courses are required (including two CS&E core courses).
      
   3. Courses on Plan of Study must have all grades of A or B with a minimum 3.25 GPA.
      
   4. The advisory committee must have at least two members from Mathematics and a thesis advisor from a CS&E member department.

Continued financial support by the Mathematics Department will depend on satisfactory academic progress and satisfactory performance in teaching and/or research duties (see section VII). The Graduate Committee urges students to complete the Ph.D. within seven years since financial support will be terminated after that time.
