Doctor's degree Computational Science - The University of Texas at El Paso

Doctor's degree Computational Science from The University of Texas at El Paso is a Campus Ph.D Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. The program will produce graduate students skilled in applying modern methods of mathematical modeling and computer simulation to solve practical problems in various areas of computational engineering and science. The graduates will be able to assess the validity of models and reliability of numerical methods. Ph.D. graduates will have a significantly deeper education in mathematical modeling of scientific and engineering problems, analysis of models, computational, and experience with pursuiing a challenging project. They will be prepared to: be independing in acquiring and using new scientific results emerging in the field, pursue original research goals on both theoretical and practical (application) level, present their results in the form of quality scientific publications. All students are required to complete at least 70 credits hours beyond their B.S. degree in mathematics , science, or engineering. The CPS Ph.D. Advisor will determine a specific list of courses each student takes. However, some courses are required for all students: 1. All students are required to take the core sequence of courses. These core courses are designated to provide the student with fundamental skills in mathematical modeling and numerical methods, which are essential in computational science. The CPS program committee may substitute CPS 5401 for another prescribed CS class for those students that have advanced computational skills. 2. All students are required to take four of the prescribed electives. If it is impossible to take four of these without duplicating equivalent courses taken previously, free electives or research courses may be substituted. 3. All students are required to take at least two classes in each of the following areas: computer science, mathematics, and science/engineering. 4. Additional electives: Students entering with a B.S. degree are required to take 21 credit hours of free electives. Students entering with a M.S. degree may take up to 15 credit hours of free electives, at the discretion of the CPS Ph.D. Advisor and approval of the Executive Committee. 5. Graduate research: Students entering with a B.S. degree must take 9 credit hours of graduate research (course CPS 5396, CPS 6396). Students entering with a M.S. degree may be required to fulfill the 9 hours graduate research requirement as well, at the discretion of the CPS Ph.D. Advisor. 6. Doctoral research: All students are required to take 15 hours of doctoral research (courses CPS 6396 and CPS 6397). 7. All students are required to take 6 credit hours of dissertation work (courses CPS 6398 and CPS 6399). View more details on The University of Texas at El Paso .
