I am going to graduate school for math and i think i am interested in computational mathematics (I say think because i don't fully know what computational math is). I have taken a numerical analysis class in my undergraduate program and i can program in a few different languages.

I'm just wondering what different people think is included in a computational mathematics graduate program?

A Google search for "ms computational mathematics" gives me the web sites of a number of such programs. The first one is Johns Hopkins, which has a link to "detailed program and course information." I didn't look at any of the other sites, but I expect they contain similar information.
