The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (MSCS) offers a unique interdisciplinary research environment, with faculty interests and expertise ranging from pure and applied mathematics to computer science, statistics, mathematical biology and bioinformatics.
In addition to university-provided genral purpose computing resources, MSCS houses and maintains its own graduate and undergraduate computing laboratories to support its teaching and research.
The MSCS department currently offers the following graduate programs:
MS in Bioinformatics
The doctoral program in Mathematics is no longer accepting students, and has been modified to become the proposal for a Ph.D. in Computational Sciences. This doctorate has been proposed to begin Fall 2009, and a decision is expected in August or September 2008. Applications will be accepted once the program has been approved, but we encourage expressions of interest from potential students at any time.
An MS in Computational Sciences has also been proposed. If approved, it will replace the MS specializations in Mathematics and in Computer Science. The MS in Computing, the MS in Bioinformatics, and the SPSST program will continue to be offered.
