U-DECSCI-C - Decision Sciences Certificate

The Decision Sciences Certificate focuses on how humans make decisions in a variety of contexts, including economic, political and social choices. If you are interested in behavioral economics, game theory, machine learning or neuroeconomics, this certificate will provide an interdisciplinary appreciation for how these separate fields approach decision making. This will enable communication and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries and will allow you to engage in research with a broader perspective than that provided by any single major.

The goal of the curriculum is to provide a shared methodological and substantive framework that will allow students to participate in the interdisciplinary study of decision making. Our expectation, though, is that students will arrive from and return to different departments and conduct research in their home departments. The cohorts produced by the certificate will provide these students with support and criticism from a variety of perspectives, however, and the hope is that this will result in stronger student research.
