New for 2018, our flagship course, Introduction to Complexity, will be open year round. All units will be available at all times, so you can learn the fundamentals of Complex Systems Science at your own pace, and earn your certificate at any time.
All other courses are designed to be similar to a semester-long course, offering the chance to delve into a subject deeply. Courses are available in two ways: as a course session, or an archived course. Each course is usually offered in one session per calendar year.
Tutorials are short, self-paced “mini-courses” designed to introduce students to important techniques and to provide illustrations of their application in complex systems.
Complexity Explorer's courses and tutorials are supported by user donations and contributions from the Santa Fe Institute. Please consider donating to support further course and tutorial development.
