Academic Programs
The University of Michigan offers three graduate-level programs aimed at preparing University of Michigan students to excel in computationally-intensive environments in both academy and industry.
Ph.D. in Scientific Computing
Intended for University of Michigan Ph.D. students who will make extensive use of large-scale computation, computational methods, or algorithms for advanced computer architectures in their studies.
Graduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering
Trains University of Michigan graduate students in computationally intensive research so they can excel in interdisciplinary HPC-focused research and product development environments.
Graduate Certificate in Computational Neuroscience
Trains University of Michigan graduate students in interdisciplinary computational neuroscience in experimental neuroscience programs and in quantitative science programs, such as physics, biophysics, mathematics and engineering.
Enrollment Deadlines
Fall enrollment:
Apply by August 1
Winter enrollment:
Apply by December 1
Note: If you intend to graduate in the Winter term, you must enroll in your chosen MICDE academic program by the previous December 1.
Fellowships
Every year, MICDE awards fellowships to approximately 20 University of Michigan graduate students using computational research. Fellows receive a $4,500 stipend that can be used to attend a conference, to buy a computer, or for any other advisor-approved activity that supports the Fellow’s research.
