Mathematical and Computational Science (MCS) will stop accepting students to its program on August 30, 2022. The program will remain available only to currently enrolled students who declared prior to that deadline. MCS students who change majors can NOT switch back to MCS. Students who are interested in this field of study in the future should consider the Data Science major, whose B.S. option is very similar to MCS.
About Us
This interdisciplinary undergraduate degree program in MCS is sponsored by Stanford's departments of Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Management Science & Engineering, providing students with a core of mathematics basic to all the mathematical sciences and an introduction to concepts and techniques of computation, optimal decision making, probabilistic modeling, and statistical inference.
Utilizing the faculty and courses of the departments listed above, this major prepares students for graduate study or employment in the mathematical and computational sciences or in those areas of applied mathematics which center around the use of computers and are concerned with the problems of the social and management sciences. A biology option is offered for students interested in applications of mathematics, statistics, and computer science to the biological sciences (bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genetics, neurosciences); and in a similar spirit, an engineering and statistics option.
