Quantum Information Science and Engineering

The Graduate Certificate in Quantum Information Science and Engineering is designed to meet a critical educational need to train the next generation of scientists and engineers with emphasis on the interdisciplinarity of Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) field. The graduate certificate allows students in various domain disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, etc.) to apply the fundamental training from their degree program to quantum information science and technologies. The QISE graduate certificate places a heavy emphasis on the project-based teamwork of students across multiple fields and assists in creating a common language between these fields to further collaboration and accelerate the realization of quantum-enabled technologies.
