Extended Accelerator - Bachelor of Science - Computational Science

The Extended Accelerator Program (EAP) may be completed in a few as three semesters and is for students seeking an immersive English-learning experience.

The program gives you a firsthand, practical, and cultural understanding of the American University campus and the Washington, DC, area through its contextual curriculum. You may enter the program in the spring or fall and progress into year two of your undergraduate education with up to a full year’s worth of academic credits. Depending on your intended degree, you may choose your elective curriculum in social sciences, humanities, or the sciences.

Computational science is a field in which computational simulation and modeling of systems are used to solve problems in engineering and natural and social sciences. Administered jointly within the College of Arts and Sciences by the Department of Computer Science and Department of Mathematics and Statistics, this program is recommended for students interested in a career in mathematical and computational techniques to solve problems and the use of these methods to advance other fields that require extensive computation and data analysis. Students in this program take foundation courses in mathematics and computer science and choose application areas including biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, environmental studies, finance, mathematics, physics, psychology, and statistics based on their interests.
