FAQs

• What is the acceptance rate for Stanford ICME?

  

  Admissions Data and Indicators: Selectivity: Stanford Graduate School of Engineering, where ICME falls under, admits roughly 4.5% of applicants overall.

• What is the difference between an academic department and an interdisciplinary program?

  

  An interdisciplinary program crosses the boundaries between traditional disciplines to tackle problems that require a diverse set of methods and concepts. The MCS Program's affiliated faculty members represent several other departments including Math, Computer Science, Material Science & Engineering, and Statistics. By learning to bring this rich collection of disciplinary expertise to bear on questions of science and technology, students graduate uniquely equipped to succeed in professions that demand interdisciplinary fluency across technical and social frameworks.

• I heard that the MCS program is discontinued. What's happening?

  

  The MCS program stopped accepting new majors and minors on September 1, 2022, but this change is not as drastic as it might seem at first. All students currently enrolled in the MCS major or minor will be able to complete these degree programs. Starting on September 1, 2022, students interested in Mathematical & Computational Science should explore the opportunities in the new Data Science program. The Data Science B.S. has requirements very similar to those of MCS. If you have more questions, please see our special list of FAQs about the transition from MCS to Data Science.

• Why do students choose the MCS major?

  

  The MCS major gives students the chance to take classes in Math, Statistics, Computer Science, and MS&E while affording students the flexibility to delve deeper into individualized areas of interest. The program usually attracts students who have enjoyed math, computer science, and/or statistics courses in the past, as it gives them the opportunity to explore applications of these subjects while taking classes in a variety of departments.
