Overview

The Scientific Computing program at Haverford College is committed to providing students with a solid emphasis in the tools and concepts that drive the field as a whole, while enabling them to explore the computational aspects particular to their own major disciplines. Students pursuing the concentration typically use it to enhance their majors in chemistry, physics/astronomy, math, biology, computer science, or economics.

One of just a handful of similar programs offered at undergraduate institutions nationally. Students graduate equipped with the knowledge as well as the real-world experience that will enable them to succeed in graduate school and the job market.

Key Facts

Concentrators pursue a course of study that emphasizes general computing skills and the application of those skills to the specific scientific discipline in which they are majoring.

Students must take two classes that introduce them to computer science and programming broadly and one that familiarizes them with the use of computation within the discipline they are pursuing. They must also complete three computation-related courses from a list of discipline-specific electives.

The culmination of the concentration is our project-based experience, which can take the form of a senior thesis, a summer research experience, or a project completed in connection with a relevant course. These projects are enhanced by the close involvement of the faculty and enable concentrators to develop and execute sophisticated and highly innovative computational investigations within their area of study.
