====== CAM Preparation ======
To prepare for UT's computational and applied mathematics ([[http://www.ices.utexas.edu/cam/|CAM]]) program, it would help to take two [[http://www.ices.utexas.edu/cam/courses/phd_requirements.php|graduate math courses]] at UTSA in the Spring of 2008.

====== UT Degree Plan ======
The following degree plan is based on the Computational Engineering and Sciences (CES) program option.  The Computational and Applied Mathematics (CAM) option is less flexible.

>The Computational and Applied Mathematics (CAM) option stresses to some degree the mathematical (Area A) side of the program, and it is suited more to students with a solid undergraduate background in mathematics. This option also allows the student more time to explore and develop interests regarding an application topic for Area C, and more time to select a graduate advisor.

>The Computational Engineering and Sciences (CES) option stresses the application area (Area C) and allows more time to develop graduate level proficiency in applicable mathematics (Area A). This option is suited to undergraduate engineering, science, and business students who know generally the application area of their interest, but who desire a slower-paced introduction to the intellectual demands of graduate level mathematics.((http://www.ices.utexas.edu/cam/info/))

Courses in italics are alternatives available for the CES option.
