Educating the Next Generation of Quantum Scientists
The quantum revolution is transforming computing, communication, and discovery, and Boston University’s Master of Science in Quantum Science & Engineering (QSE) prepares students to lead it. The first program of its kind in New England, this interdisciplinary degree combines rigorous theory with hands-on experience to prepare students for cutting-edge careers across the quantum industry.
Why QSE at BU?
- Interdisciplinary training across physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, materials science, and electrical engineering
- One-year, STEM-designated and on-campus program with rigorous theory and hands-on experience
- Access to quantum hardware, faculty-led research, and internship opportunities with industry partners
- Located in Boston, a global hub for quantum research and innovation
“Quantum technologies are moving rapidly from the laboratory into the real world. We designed this program to prepare students for that transition — grounding them in theory, immersing them in practice, and building a shared intellectual framework that enables scientists and engineers from different backgrounds to collaborate at the quantum frontier.”Anushya Chandran, Director of MS in QSE
