About the Program
The Certificate in Quantum Information Science & Technology (16 credits) will be jointly offered by the College of Science and the College of Engineering, and will be open to students in all undergraduate majors interested in careers in the field of quantum information science and technology. This certificate will give undergraduate students broad technical exposure to fundamental and applied topics related to QIST and is designed to supplement the baccalaureate plans of studies in different majors, including (but not limited to) engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, math, and technology.
Requirements for the Certificate (16 credits)
Engineering Requirement (1 credit)
QIST Introduction Courses (3-4 credits)
QIST Fundamental Courses (1-3 credits)
Choose one: QIST Experience for Undergraduates Selectives (1-6 credits)
Choose 1-6 credits from courses below: Certificate Requirements
- Student must demonstrate a significant and meaningful experiential activity related to quantum information science. Examples include
