UCF Modeling & Simulation

The Modeling and Simulation Graduate Program was initiated in 2001-2002 with directions from high university officials to create a multi-disciplinary program. Virtually all Modeling and Simulation graduate programs are part of computer science or engineering departments. Our program is currently drawing classes and faculty from a dozen or more academic units. Given that the field of Modeling and Simulation has grown so rapidly and in so many directions, the decision to make a multi-disciplinary program has proved to be the correct decision. The Program is largely administered through the Institute for Simulation & Training, and reports to the College of Graduate Studies.
