Complex adaptive systems science is the study of interactive and dynamic systems that change over time, producing their own emergent properties. The complex adaptive systems science graduate certificate can be pursued along with any doctoral degree program at Arizona State University. You pursue your chosen field of study while addressing intricate global challenges. Complex adaptive system concepts and methods provide a common language that enables the interdisciplinary collaborations required for coming to grips with the intellectual and societal challenges of today's world. The program trains you to be a part of the next generation of scientists researching advanced concepts and methods that are necessary for approaching diverse phenomena in the social and life sciences. The program is tightly integrated with diverse, ongoing university-wide research on complex adaptive system science at ASU and emphasizes the value of a complex adaptive systems perspective to give science better insight and a more active role in seeking solutions to a broad array of critical issues facing society today. You become fluent in the common language of complexity while also receiving a solid foundation in the domain knowledge of existing academic disciplines.
