The Institute for Scientific Computation established the Computational Sciences Certificate Program to address the growing demand for computational methods in tackling intricate scientific and engineering challenges. Designed for graduate students in science and engineering disciplines, this initiative offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary supplement to their primary degree, equipping them with the foundational knowledge required to excel as leaders in computational science, engineering, and technology. Upon finishing the program, graduates earn an officially recognized transcript certification that enhances the worth and appeal of their advanced degree. The certificate serves as formal proof on academic records that students have satisfactorily completed coursework emphasizing computational elements to complement their science or engineering major. To earn the certification, participants must finish four courses (one mandatory core class and three electives) as outlined in the program's curriculum, along with a culminating project in their home department.
You are an international graduate applicant if you:
are not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States (or applicant for permanent residency) AND
you have not graduated from a Texas high school after three years in residence in Texas AND
hold a bachelor’s or professional degree (or equivalent)
