How does Computing compare with the Computational Sciences degree program?
The master’s degree in computing is intended as a terminal professional masters degree leading to careers typically in applications development, software engineering, service delivery, architecture and information technology management. The master’s degree in computational sciences complements the master’s in computing by offering a choice for students seeking more mathematical content or preparation for a doctoral program or a research career. There are significant differences in the degree requirements: • Students in the computational sciences program must complete an essay or thesis. • There are 18 credits of core courses required in the computational sciences master’s program. The computational sciences core includes courses in probability, simulation, applied analysis, and applied linear algebra (MSCS 6010-6040). The computational sciences program therefore expects students have the background to complete four courses in mathematics and statistics, in addition to studying computer
