Additional elective courses for the QCQIC will be added to the program as they are developed and become available in the DSAS, SSOE and SCI (new courses must be approved by the Advisory Committee). Some courses that apply towards the certificate also count as electives in the degree tracks of Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy but no more than 9 credits can be earned through those courses.
