Science and engineering graduate students at the University at Buffalo are being offered a new advanced-certificate program in scientific computing that promises to make them more marketable to prospective employers, university officials said.

The program, recently approved by the state Education Department and the chancellor of the State University of New York, is designed for master's and doctoral degree candidates studying math, physics, chemical engineering and mechanical and aerospace engineering at UB. The goal of the program, a cooperative effort with UB's Center for Computational Research, is to prepare graduate students for changing needs in the areas in which they will work.

Students who take the new advanced-certificate program are required to take 15 hours of graduate course work, including a two-semester offering in high-performance computing.
