Future Students
Prospective Students
CMDA educates computational problem solvers. Do you want to gain insights from data, develop models of the world, and compute fast enough to matter? CMDA majors deploy these skills across many passions, from climate science to sports analytics, from financial modeling to cybersecurity. If you enjoy combining cutting-edge ideas from statistics, applied math, and computer science, you are a great match for CMDA.
CMDA Degree Options
Standard Option
The most common option — with restricted electives, you can specialize in computer science, math, or statistics, or develop breadth across these disciplines.
Biological Sciences
Build a foundation in biology, then specialize in topics such as cell cycle modeling, population ecology, or infectious disease spread.
Cryptography & Cybersecurity
Apply data skills in the modern security environment, equipped with an advanced sequence in cryptography and additional courses in computer science.
Economics
With a background in micro and macroeconomics and econometrics, apply data science for crafting public policy, banking or finance.
Geosciences
Apply data and modeling to learn how the planet works, then specialize in applications of CMDA to climate change or energy.
Physics
Combine CMDA with a deep dive into physics, to learn from the voluminous data produced by modern physics experiments.
