Modeling & Simulation Certificates & Academic Programs


There are two approaches to a Modeling & Simulation (M&S) education at ODU:

  1. A student focuses on the software engineering aspects of M&S and earns undergraduate or graduate degrees. Or,
  2. A student majors in an academic area of interest and also earns an academic minor or a graduate certificate in M&S. In this case, the focus is not on engineering per se, but rather on the use of M&S in applied settings.

ODU facilitates a university-wide, interdisciplinary Modeling & Simulation movement where faculty and students from every academic college use M&S approaches to address the challenges of their disciplines. Explore these M&S certificates and academic programs below.
