Alongside theory and experimentation, computational methods play a crucial role in advancing scientific understanding and engineering applications. Acknowledging the increasing demand for professionals skilled in computational sciences, applied mathematics, statistics, and traditional disciplines like chemistry and physics, the Professional Science Master's (PSM) in High-Performance Computing for Scientific Applications is designed for STEM graduates who aim to utilize high-performance computing as their principal research tool across physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering fields.
The High-Performance Computing for Scientific Applications PSM core curriculum familiarizes students with high-performance computing system architectures, mathematical approaches used in such systems, parallel computation software tools, and computational techniques applied in scientific and engineering contexts. A unique aspect of this program is its dual focus on both the algorithmic foundations and technological aspects of high-performance computing as applied to scientific and engineering challenges. The curriculum highlights interdisciplinary methods, with a strong emphasis on hands-on applications and customized projects rather than purely theoretical study.

Qualification Requirements
From Whom: Letters should be obtained from college/university faculty or faculty who are familiar with the applicant's competency. If the applicant has an established career in the field, the applicant's immediate supervisor should provide one of the letters.
Coursework Required for Admission Consideration: Applicants should have a strong background in one or more STEM fields: science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: The PSM program has been designed for recent graduates and professionals who have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a STEM field.
Statement of Goals: In approximately 250 to 500 words, describe your interest in Temple's program, research goals, and academic and research achievements.
Standardized Test Scores:
GRE: Optional
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
TOEFL iBT: 85
IELTS Academic: 6.5
PTE Academic: 58
Duolingo: 110
The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of B or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.
Interview: An in-person or SKYPE interview with the Program Director or members of the P.S.M. Steering Committee is required.
