The CIS program in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) spans several dozen departments and research areas. The field is application-driven and involves a mix of applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and computer science.

Ph.D. students at Cornell can minor in CSE. Requirements are flexible and the list of CSE field members who can serve as minor advisors is long.

A priority of the CSE program is the development of a coordinated curriculum that serves computationally-oriented graduate students throughout science and engineering.
