"description": "<h1>Program Prerequisites</h1><p>Although UCF SMST does not have a mandated prerequisite for its graduate programs, the most successful students are those who have an academic and/or work background that has prepared them in mathematics (introductory calculus and probability and statistics) and computer literacy, preferably, familiarity with at least one higher order programming language (e.g., Python, C/C++, Visual Basic, Java, etc.). Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in Engineering, Computer Science, or Mathematics will generally have this background.</p> <p>Students without this background are encouraged to select the elective course COT 5570 (Introductory Mathematics for Modeling and Simulation). This course will prepare them for the required core course COT 6571 (Mathematical Foundations of Modeling and Simulation) and will count toward their plan of study.</p><h1>Application Requirements</h1><h1>Application Deadlines</h1><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.
