New York University

The departments of mathematics and computer science at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences offer a master's degree in scientific computing. The program provides broad yet rigorous training in areas of mathematics and computer science related to scientific computing. It aims to prepare people with the right talents and background for a technical career doing practical computing.

The program accommodates both full-time and part-time students, with most courses meeting in the evening. The masters program focuses on computational science, which includes modeling and numerical simulation as used in engineering design, development, and optimization. While data science is an increasingly important aspect of computational science, this program is distinct and different from the recently-created Masters of Science in Data Science within the NYU Center for Data Scienczze. Students specifically interested in data science are encouraged to apply to that program instead.
