Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) has become essential to modern scientific research and engineering design, relying heavily on large-scale simulations and high-performance computing. Students choosing the CSE specialization gain expertise in cutting-edge computational techniques alongside applied knowledge in science, engineering, mathematics, or medical fields. This interdisciplinary program promotes collaborative, computation-driven research and equips graduates to tackle sophisticated technological challenges. Alumni are in high demand across R&D industries, academic institutions, and government research facilities.
Core curriculum components
The CSE program requires 9 credit hours of fundamental Mathematical/Computational Methods and High Performance Scientific Computing courses, along with participation in EAS/CSE seminar series. These seminars help maintain community connections and facilitate diverse intellectual exchanges among participants.
Specialization coursework
Post-baccalaureate students must complete at least 18 additional credit hours tailored to their research interests and professional objectives. Individual study plans vary significantly, but must incorporate courses from multiple disciplines, typically selected from mathematics, physics, engineering, or computer science departments.

Qualification Requirements
Candidates must submit the required application materials, university requirements and program-specific requirements, for consideration.
Students possessing a bachelor's or master's degree and a strong academic background in any of the four program tracks (Applied Mechanics and Materials, Computational Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Information Science, Industrial and Systems Engineering) or similar disciplines are encouraged to apply for admission to the EAS PhD program.
Generally, a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.00 (on a scale of 4.00) is required or a minimum graduate GPA of 3.25.
Applications indicating option preferences will be made directly to the PhD program and reviewed by admissions committees in the selected options. Admission is made by the Associate Provost for Graduate Studies and the Dean of the College of Engineering upon the recommendation of the EAS Graduate Program Director and the admissions director of the major option.
Requirements
GRE is waived.
2 letter of recommendation: from a person in the field of your academic major at the institution most recently attended or from a supervisor familiar with your recent job performance. Applicants will be required to provide the recommenders name and email address so we can contact the recommender for the letter of recommendation.
International students should have a minimum English Proficiency score of TOEFL iBT 90, IELTS 6.5, Duolingo 120 or the Pearsons PTE 60.
