Program description

With the development of modern computational science and materials synthesis and characterization methods in experiments, the materials research and development in industry has been expedited dramatically. This program is designed for students who hope to pursue for a career in materials industry, such as the industrial sectors of metals, glass, semiconductors, ceramics, and polymer materials. Students will study computational chemistry skills for simulating and analyzing materials and experimental knowledges and methods in chemical analysis, solid-state chemistry, and polymer materials. The certificate program is available for students with a BS degree in physical sciences, engineering, or medical science who hope to acquire specialized knowledge and skills relevant to the materials industry.

Here are the expected program outcomes for students:

1. Demonstrate understanding of the fundamental concepts and techniques of experimental and theoretical chemistry methods in advanced materials,
2. Demonstrating the basic computational methods and skills for molecular or materials simulations,
3. Effectively communicate the knowledge in oral presentations

The Advanced Materials Graduate Certificate (Certificate-AM) program at the University of New Haven (UNH) is a 1-year 12-credit hours program. As the minimal requirement, every student needs to complete 1 required (3 credits) courses and 3 electives (9 credits).

Every student is required to complete the following required courses (3 credits):

• CHEM 6710: Computational Chemistry (3 credits)

Every student is required to complete at least 9 credits of the following elective courses:
