CSE Certificate Program

The Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) Certificate Program at the University of New Mexico is an interdisciplinary graduate program aimed at promoting advanced research in the computational sciences, including applications, algorithms, and architectures. Its purpose is to prepare students to effectively use high-performance computing within their disciplines.

The CSE program is administered by CARC — CARC’s Director serves as the CSE Program Director, and the CSE Program Committee consists of the Program Director and Faculty Coordinators. The computational resources of the Center are available to all students enrolled in the program, as part of their course work and thesis or dissertation research.

CSE students gain expertise in:

  • state-of-the-art numerical methods
  • high-performance computing architectures
  • software development tools for parallel and accelerator (GPU)-based architectures
  • application of advanced hardware and software to the analysis of problems in science and engineering

Students may earn a CSE certificate in conjunction with their master’s or doctorate degree, or, if they already have a graduate degree, enroll to obtain a separate CSE certificate. Admission requires prior acceptance in a UNM degree program within a participating department.
