Learning Engineering (Graduate Certificate)
Analytics, Data Mining, Educational Technology, Experience Design, Instructional Design, Learning sciences
Remember taking boring classes and using unhelpful learning content? Did you ever consider how to improve them? You can learn how to work with interdisciplinary teams to build better learning environments and experiences that are more responsive to the learner. Become a learning engineer and improve learning ecosystems around you.
The graduate certificate program in learning engineering fuses knowledge from the science of learning and skills from a variety of disciplines --- such as human-centered design, usability, evaluation and systems design --- to address challenges that arise within training and educational organizations or systems. This training prepares students to work in interdisciplinary teams to solve problems. Through lectures, discussion and hands-on courses, students gain a grasp of learning engineering methods and can apply them within professional settings.
Students in this certificate program are part of the Learning Engineering Research Network, which enables them to connect with industry professionals and academic researchers within the field of learning engineering.
Disciplines connected to the learning engineering field include:
- computer science
- data analytics and evaluation
- design sciences
- learning sciences
- systems engineering

Admission deadlines
3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
