Ph.D. Program Computational Science -- Pending
It would be quite misleading, however, to regard Computational Science merely as a collection of tools ad algorithms. More importantly, in our view, the CSE graduate program addresses the growing need for more versatile and broadly educated researchers than those produced by typical graduate programs in the traditional scientific and engineering disciplines. This need is particularly evident in some areas of industrial and applied research, and has also been pointed out by a number of "task forces" in charge of identifying the main shortcomings of graduate training in the sciences and in engineering [2, 3].
The CSE program of study at SDSU currently leads to a M. S. degree only; it is our opinion, however, that a clearly defined role exists for a doctoral (Ph.D.) program. While retaining the essential, highly successful research-oriented character of any other doctoral program in a scientific discipline, the CSE Ph.D. program emphasizes interdisciplinary studies over specialization, thereby preparing its graduates to contribute effectively to research and development in the modern industrial setting.
