Self-Paced Computational Science Certificate:

This unique online/on-site certificate program introduces high school students to computational thinking and data analysis along with applications in science and medicine. The program consists of three units taught by college professors:

• Course 1: Introduction to Data Science (Focus on Data Analysis and Interpretation)
• Course 2: Computer Programming for Science Applications
• Course 3: Molecular Modeling in Chemistry & Biology

Students are required to complete an exit project for each course to be eligible for the certificate. Upon successful completion of the program, students are also provided assistance in describing the program for their college applications. In addition, students who obtained the  certificate may gain priority for internship positions at Quest for relevant follow-up research projects, if in compliance with funding source requirements. 

Currently, we are accepting applications for our July and August sessions. 

Once your application is complete with payment; you will be provided access to the courses units in the following schedule:
