Post Masters Certificates in Complex Systems

The field of complex systems is relatively young and evolving, encompassing a wide range of disciplines in the sciences, engineering, computer science, and mathematics. In this context, a complex system is defined as an engineered or natural system that is characterized by dynamical properties and unobservable interactions that may not be apparent from observations of its emergent behaviors. Moreover, those dynamics can be intelligent and potentially adversarial. With a strong emphasis on the application of mathematical theory, computational techniques, and modeling in the program, students and faculty will engage in research on complex systems. This program will prepare students to apply mathematical theory, data-enabled modeling, and computational techniques to the study of complex systems in the natural and engineered world. Coursework will focus on the theoretical foundations of complex systems analysis with an emphasis on applications.

A master’s degree in STEM fields is required for admission to the certificate program. Students enrolled in the certificate program are eligible to apply to the Ph.D. program. The coursework will be transferred, if admitted. The students in the Ph.D. program will automatically be enrolled in the certificate program and, therefore, will be granted this certificate along with their Ph.D. degree in complex systems.
