Computational mathematical and statistical sciences (CMPS) focuses on exploring, developing, simulating, and applying models to address scientific and engineering challenges. Our department's wide-ranging research possibilities are strengthened by collaborative faculty initiatives across Marquette University's science and engineering departments, as well as partnerships with Milwaukee-area research facilities and medical centers. The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences provides both M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Computational Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. This discipline concentrates on creating, applying, and utilizing computational methods to tackle both practical and theoretical problems in mathematics and statistics. These endeavors frequently include innovating new computational approaches, software solutions, or systems to address complex, large-scale challenges.
Our curriculum prepares graduates with a unique combination of theoretical knowledge and computational expertise for careers in industry, research institutions, and academia. Although most coursework occurs within our department, students' research may explore computational applications across diverse fields.
Few comparable programs exist nationally, with most sharing similar titles but differing in focus based on available resources. Each provides an interdisciplinary environment where students apply cutting-edge computational methods to solve scientific problems. Those interested in fields where computation is fundamental should explore our M.S. or Ph.D. in Computational Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. Our program develops graduates' theoretical and computational abilities for careers in various sectors, while allowing research to span computational dimensions of multiple disciplines.
