A new Canadian interdisciplinary Ph.D. in computational sciences
We introduce the principles used to design an interdisciplinary PhD in Computational Sciences. Rationale for this new degree include the needs of society for highly trained personnel who can handle multiple disciplines and the crossover between disciplines, the appeal of this type of degree to industry where many of its graduates will work (not all in academia), and the strong economic impact of highly trained computational scientists. Program characteristics include interdisciplinary strength, flexible admission requirements, short program duration and minimal, flexible course requirements.
