==Education== At some institutions, a specialization in scientific computation can be earned as a "minor" within another program (which may be at varying levels). However, there are increasingly many [[Bachelor's degree|bachelor's]], [[Master's degree|master's]], and [[doctoral degree|doctoral]] programs in computational science. The joint degree program master program computational science at the [[University of Amsterdam]] and the {{lang|nl|[[Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam|Vrije Universiteit]]|italic=no}} in computational science was first offered in 2004. In this program, students: * learn to build computational models from real-life observations; * develop skills in turning these models into computational structures and in performing large-scale simulations; * learn theories{{Which|date=December 2021}} that will give a firm basis for the analysis of complex systems; * learn to analyze the results of simulations in a virtual laboratory using advanced numerical algorithms.{{Relevance inline|date=December 2021}} [[ETH Zurich]] offers a bachelor's and master's degree in Computational Science and Engineering. The degree equips students with the ability to understand scientific problem and apply numerical methods to solve such problems. The directions of specializations include Physics, Chemistry, Biology and other Scientific and Engineering disciplines. [[George Mason University]] has offered a multidisciplinary doctorate Ph.D. program in Computational Sciences and Informatics starting from 1992.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Computational Sciences and Informatics, PhD {{!}} GMU College of Science |url=https://science.gmu.edu/academics/departments-units/computational-data-sciences/computational-sciences-and-informatics-phd |access-date=2024-04-24 |website=science.gmu.edu}}</ref> The School of Computational and Integrative Sciences, [[Jawaharlal Nehru University]] (erstwhile School of Information Technology<ref>{{Cite web|title=SCIS | Welcome to Jawaharlal Nehru University|url=https://www.jnu.ac.in/scis|url-status=live|website=www.jnu.ac.in|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130310125604/http://www.jnu.ac.in:80/SCIS/ |archive-date=2013-03-10 }}</ref>{{Verify source|date=December 2021}}) also offers{{Verify source|date=December 2021|reason=the link is dead}} a vibrant master's science program for computational science with two specialties: [[Computational biology|Computational Biology]] and [[Complex Systems]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=SCIS: Program of Study | Welcome to Jawaharlal Nehru University|url=https://www.jnu.ac.in/content/scis-program-study|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200207201746/https://www.jnu.ac.in/content/scis-program-study|archive-date=7 February 2020|access-date=31 December 2021|website=www.jnu.ac.in}}</ref> === Subfields === {{div col|colwidth=15em}} * [[Bioinformatics]] * [[Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics]] * [[Cheminformatics]] * [[Chemometrics]] * [[Computational archaeology]] * [[Computational astrophysics]] * [[Computational biology]] * [[Computational chemistry]] * [[Computational materials science]] * [[Computational economics]] * [[Computational electromagnetics]] * [[Computational engineering]] * [[Computational finance]] * [[Computational fluid dynamics]] * [[Computational forensics]] * [[Computational geophysics]] * [[Computational history]] * [[Computational informatics]] * [[Computational intelligence]] * [[Computational law]] * [[Computational linguistics]] * [[Computational mathematics]] * [[Computational mechanics]] * [[Computational neuroscience]] * [[Computational particle physics]] * [[Computational physics]] * [[Computational sociology]] * [[Computational statistics]] * [[Computational sustainability]] * [[Computer algebra]] * [[Computer simulation]] * [[Financial modeling]] * [[Geographic information science]] ** [[Geographic information system]] (GIS) * [[High-performance computing]] * [[Machine learning]] * [[Network theory|Network analysis]] * [[Neuroinformatics]] * [[Numerical linear algebra]] * [[Numerical weather prediction]] * [[Pattern recognition]] * [[Scientific visualization]] * [[Simulation]] {{div col end}}
