Admission Requirements

Applicants must also meet general graduate admission requirements  in addition to the following program-specific requirements:

• Applicants will be required to determine the track they are interested in pursuing (Data Analytics, Bioinformatics, or Computational Physics) and demonstrate adequate preparation at the undergraduate level in the form of relevant coursework and research experience.
• Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the Computational Science program, we expect that our applicants will be undergraduates with bachelor of science degrees in computer science, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, or graduates with master’s degrees in these areas.
• Applicants are required to take the general GRE test.
• The program requires three letters of recommendation submitted with the application.

Transfer Requirements

Students who transfer to the Computational Science program will receive transfer credit or advanced standing for their previous work, if they can demonstrate course equivalency. Credits for previous work will be given at the discretion of the Program Committee. Transfer students will still be required to pass written and oral qualifying exams and fulfill all other candidacy requirements.
