It’s a privilege to receive guidance from faculty who are among the leading in their respective field… I’m pursuing SciCAM because, during my undergraduate studies in Applied Math, I found that being able to design solutions to difficult problems was both challenging and immensely satisfying. My favorite part of the program is the mentorship. It’s…

My favorite part about the program is the community within the graduate students here as well as the welcoming and amazing faculty here. Hi my name is Dante Buhl, I’m a SciCAM masters student at UCSC. I chose a degree in Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics because I enjoy solving difficult problems through a mixture…

The SciCAM program perfectly aligned with my interest in tackling scientific and engineering challenges. Starting as a Game Design major in community college, I discovered a passion for problem-solving and math. This prompted a switch to Computer Science, which led me to choose UCSC’s Applied Math undergraduate program when transferring. The SciCAM program perfectly aligned…

I applied because it made going to graduate school now more realistic rather than going later on in life. What I really appreciate about this program is it is giving me an opportunity to get research experience and put together a strong application for a Ph.D. program. I applied because it made going to graduate…
