PGCert in Computational Science

This advanced graduate credential in data and computational science comes from the Institute for Advanced Computational Science. It is open to students pursuing a doctorate as well as those in master's programs, and it adds computational depth to their primary field. The institute was founded in 2012 with a private endowment and draws core faculty from many computational disciplines, spanning the physical, life, earth, social and computer sciences as well as mathematics and linguistics. It works closely with the Computational Science Initiative at Brookhaven National Laboratory, aiming to push computing techniques forward and apply them to complex discovery problems. The certificate totals eighteen credits. A graduate program director and a certificate coordinator guide students through enrollment. The credential suits students who want to strengthen their quantitative and computing skills alongside their main graduate degree.
