# 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.
