NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences provides a master's program in scientific computing through its mathematics and computer science departments. This curriculum delivers comprehensive yet demanding education in mathematical and computational disciplines relevant to scientific computing, designed to equip talented individuals with the necessary skills for technical computing careers.
The program supports both full-time and part-time enrollment, with evening classes available for most courses. Focusing on computational science, it emphasizes modeling and numerical simulation techniques applied in engineering design, development, and optimization. Though data science plays a growing role in computational fields, this program differs from NYU's separate Master of Science in Data Science offered by the Center for Data Science. Prospective students primarily interested in data science should consider applying to that specialized program.
Scientific computing has become essential across academic research, government labs, and private industry. While scientific teams often include mathematics, science, statistics, or engineering specialists, they frequently lack proficiency in contemporary computing methods like visualization, modern programming approaches, and high-performance computing. This master's program addresses these gaps while maintaining foundational instruction in numerical analysis and computer science. Graduates frequently secure positions at cutting-edge research and development organizations, where their interdisciplinary training complements other professionals' expertise. The program also serves as preparation for doctoral studies in computer science, mathematics, or statistics.

Qualification Requirements
All applicants must have an accredited baccalaureate degree or its equivalent. Applicants in their last semester of undergraduate study must graduate before they begin their graduate work at NYU.
An official transcript from all previously attended institutions (undergraduate, graduate, and continuing educational programs) must be uploaded using the online application system.
A student must provide three letters of recommendation (except non-degree). It is strongly recommended that at least two of these letters be from faculty with whom the applicant took a mathematics or other science course. Letters must be submitted using the online application system.
Submission of GRE scores is optional. The department views GRE scores both the general GRE and the Mathematics Subject Test as useful information, however, applications which do not include these scores will not be at a disadvantage: more weight will be placed on the other elements of such applications.
Applicants whose native language is not English must submit a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score, scores of less than 600 (250 for the computer-based test, 100 for the internet-based test) are generally not recommended for admission. This requirement may be waived for an applicant with an accredited degree from an institution where English was the language of instruction. IELTS scores are accepted by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in place of the TOEFL.
For the IELTS, a minimum overall band score of at least 7 is recommended.
