Welcome to the Department of Computational and Data Sciences!
The mission of the Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) is to provide quality graduate and undergraduate education, research, and service emphasizing the central role of computational methodologies in the physical, mathematical, and data sciences.
The educational and research programs of CDS are highly interdisciplinary, with an emphasis on theoretical science, computer simulation, and data analysis.
The objective of the department is to provide Virginia, and the nation as a whole, with world-class resources for attacking the interdisciplinary research problems that characterize the challenges faced in the new millennium.
The inclusion of theoretical, computer laboratory, and data science components results in a unique community of scholars ideally suited for the challenges of interdisciplinary research in the years ahead.
