Major Coursework

The Graduate Certificate in Computational Technology & Science brings together computational mathematics, statistics, and engineering to help students analyze complex systems and develop data-driven solutions. Choose one core course and three electives, including at least one outside your home department, to build a foundation in computational mathematics methods while exploring subjects relevant to your field. A capstone project provides an opportunity to apply your knowledge to a research challenge.

To be awarded the certificate, you must successfully complete: 

  • One Core Course (3–4 credits) 
    MATH 609 (Numerical Analysis) or STAT 604 (Topics in Statistical Computations)
  • Three Approved Electives (9 credits) - Note: At least one elective must be taken outside of your home department. 
  • At least one elective must come from outside your home department.
  • A Capstone Project — Important: Your project topic must be formally proposed to and approved by the ISC after you are admitted to the certificate program. Projects completed or coursework used as a project prior to formal admission will not be accepted.
