Brief Overview
The Engineering Modeling and Simulation certificate is comprised of four courses (MX-2001, MX-3001, MX-3002 and MX-4000). Upon completion of this certificate program, students will be awarded a certificate of completion from the Naval Postgraduate School. The Engineering Modeling and Simulation Certificate program is targeted primarily at personnel in the DoD Acquisition Workforce but has great benefit for all students who seek further knowledge regarding the application of physics-based modeling and simulation in support of the acquisition lifecycle.
Requirements for Entry
For entry, the student must have a baccalaureate degree.
Program Length
Four quarters.
Graduate Certificate Requirements
To earn the academic certificate students must pass all four courses with a C+ (2.3 Quality Point Rating (QPR)) or better in each course and an overall QPR of 3.0 or better. Students earning grades below these standards will need to retake the courses to bring their grades within standards or they will be withdrawn from the program.
