Be on the cutting edge of the computer science field for a forward-looking career in any scientific or data-driven field.
Institutions and organizations across the country need scientists with strong computational abilities who can develop, analyze and execute computational algorithms. When you minor in scientific computing, you’ll learn how to apply computational thinking to large-scale data sets and produce efficient, structured solutions to real-world science problems. This minor is ideal for students majoring in biology, chemistry, physics or computer science who are interested in adding a highly marketable skill set in a growing field to their professional tool kit.
There is a huge demand for students with skills in scientific computing. Graduating with a minor in scientific computing allows me to have an edge over other students who may be applying to similar internships, graduate programs or jobs in the future.

The minor in scientific computing was created in partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory to ensure that learning goals are aligned with the needs of scientific employers. The minor’s introductory course, Survey of Scientific Computing, is based on content developed by one of Brookhaven’s top technology architects.
Students in Adelphi’s computer science department regularly intern at Brookhaven as well as other leading organizations in the New York metropolitan area, including:
An introductory scientific computing course that started out in 2015 as a weekly high school after-school program, developed by the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, is now part of the curriculum for a new scientific computing minor offered at Adelphi University.
