Program Structure and Highlights

The non-credit program is comprised of four focused courses, each lasting 6 weeks (about 30 hours of study), with a 1-week break between each, allowing for optimal learning and integration of concepts. You'll benefit from:

  • UConn Faculty Expertise: Learn directly from leading researchers and educators in quantum physics.
  • 100% Online Learning: Asynchronous and synchronous study.
    • Asynchronous Components: Much of your learning occurs at your own pace with posted due dates.
    • Synchronous Components: Via weekly live online meetings, engage with faculty and peers for discussions, problem-solving, and collaboration.
  • Comprehensive Curriculum: Gain a holistic understanding of quantum science, from fundamental principles to cutting-edge applications in computing and materials.
  • Small Learning Cohort: This program is based within a cohort model; the students you begin with, you'll end with, building a network of peers.

Those completing the 4 courses will receive a certificate of completion issued by the University of Connecticut. This program does not imply, or lead to, "certification."
