All students must meet the Requirements for the micro-Certificate of Graduate Study (mCGS)
Overview
The Scientific Micro-Certificate program trains students on theoretical and practical skills of scientific computing, preparing them for a wide range of job opportunities in the public sector, industry, and academia. Students completing the program acquire in-depth knowledge of numerical methods for scientific computing, their implementations (including coding), and their applications to real-world problems in science and engineering.
Specific Requirements
Requirements for Admission to Graduate Studies for the micro-Certificate of Graduate Study
All existing UVM graduate students with a 3.0 or above GPA who have successfully completed the prerequisites for the two required certificate courses will be admitted into the program. These students need to enroll in the mCGS-SC no later than having finished their first course that will count toward the program.
