APPLICATION FORMS

NSF-IGERT

The Certificate
Wayne State University offers a Certificate in Scientific Computing, which can be earned by completing 12 credit hours in the core curriculum in scientific computing. In most cases 9 of these credit hours can also be used towards your advanced degree. There is a wealth of more specialized courses in computational science offered in many departments. We are currently developing additional courses for our more advanced curriculum. Please bookmark this page for future updates.

The Certificate in Scientific Computing Program is open to any student who holds a B.S. or B.A. degree from from an accredited institution and meets core curriculum prerequisites. Students do not need to be concurrently enrolled in a degree program We encourage professionals who wish to extend or upgrade their skills in scientific computing to participate.

Please consult our application information page for complete details on entering any of our programs. If you have curriculum specific questions please contact Evelyn Goldfield via electronic mail (evi@sun.science.wayne.edu) or through the post at: 275 Chemistry; Wayne State University; Detroit, MI 48202
