Exceptional Hands-on Learning

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:

Published:

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.
