Computational

The objectives of the minor in Applied Scientific Computing are to train students in the techniques of high performance computing for science and engineering applications, to expose students to application areas beyond their immediate research, to share experience and expertise across disciplinary boundaries and to facilitate interdisciplinary research that relies on numerical simulation.  Students in this program are expected to be engaged in research that applies large scale, high performance computer simulation to areas of science and engineering.

This is a Minor.

Our PhD program in Applied Linguistics & Technology (ALT) focuses on English language description, teaching, learning, and assessment, with particular emphasis on issues and practices related to technology: analysis of language using computational and corpus linguistic methods as well as the study of computer technology in English language teaching, learning, and assessment. The degree prepares students for a variety of academic appointments in departments of applied linguistics and English and for professional opportunities in research and development, international publishing, and government agencies in the U.S. and around the world where English is taught and used for specific educational, vocational, and professional purposes. Candidates are required to complete 72 hours of graduate credit including a dissertation; to meet a language requirement that may be fulfilled in a number of ways (students whose native language is other than English are considered to have met the language requirement after satisfying the Graduate College English requirement);and to pass a portfolio assessment, a preliminary examination consisting of a written dissertation proposal (which includes a section on piloting) and the preliminary oral examination, and an oral defense of the dissertation.
