CSME Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Participating Units
The CSME M.S. Program is a standalone, campus-wide interdisciplinary program
involving almost all of the science, mathematics, and engineering departments
and divisions on campus.
The CSME Ph.D. Program is based on existing Ph.D. programs in
six core departments; doctoral students in these departments who
participate in the CSME Ph.D. program obtain a formal UC
``Specialization in Computational Science'' as an additional credential
with their doctoral degree.
The six departments which fully participate in the CSME Ph.D. program
as of Spring 2010 are:
Division of Physical Sciences
Jacobs School of Engineering
CSME Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Participating Divisions
The following academic divisions, research units, and research institutes
participate in the CSME Program through representation on the CSME Executive
and/or Advisory Committees, supervising CSME graduate students, and offering
CMSE courses:
Additional centers and institutes associated with the CSME Program
are listed in the CSME Ph.D. and M.S. proposals, which can be
found on the CSME Resources webpage.
