Faculty involved are internationally recognized leaders in their fields. Faculty participation includes Core Faculty, Associate Faculty, and Affiliated Faculty. Students admitted to the Program come from high-quality institutions and are academically strong and diverse. There currently are 14 M.S. and 22 Ph.D. students in the Program. Thirty-one students have received the M.S. degree and 21 have received the Ph.D. since it was initiated.
Alumni find positions in a variety of public and private sectors of the economy.
Overall, alumni show a high level of satisfaction with the Program. Concerning the Program's curriculum, the review noted insufficient emphasis on the computer science component of the curriculum. The need for additional administrative support was also noted in the review, and the Deans Office has taken steps to address this matter. C-GS, therefore, makes the following recommendation. The Committee on Graduate Studies recommends that the Executive Committee of the interdisciplinary program in Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics be reauthorized to nominate candidates for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees for five years, effective September 1, 1999.
