If you work in engineering, computing, cybersecurity, telecommunications, or another technical field, quantum knowledge could become a serious differentiator in your career. Employers need people who really understand the core concepts and work with quantum circuits, programming tools, communication protocols, and network architectures.

UChicago’s eight-week Quantum Science, Networking, and Communications course gives you hands-on experience with quantum circuits, Qiskit, quantum communication protocols, and network simulation, building practical skills you can take into emerging quantum roles and projects.

Learn from Eric Chitambar, Bryan Clark, Hannes Bernien, Alex Kolar, and Tian Zhong, researchers working at the forefront of quantum computing, communications, hardware, and networking.

The next course begins October 12. Register by September 15 and use code QUANTUM-EB5 at checkout to receive a 5% tuition reduction.

Big thanks to Suraj Arukil, CEO of Nuvento, for stopping by our AI for Enterprise Leaders course!

Suraj shared some great real-world insight on leading AI transformation in business—and left us with this gem:

"The AI winners won't be those with the smartest models. They'll be the ones that make AI part of the business strategy, and govern it accordingly."

Our students walked away inspired and a little wiser about what it takes to lead in the age of AI. Thank you for your time, Suraj!

Some of the most important questions in business aren't really business questions.

- Why do people ignore good advice?

- Why do small changes sometimes have a much bigger impact than major initiatives?

- Why do organizations invest heavily in change, yet struggle to change behavior?

These are the kinds of questions behavioral science has been exploring for decades.

Join Dr. Christine Lawther for UChicago's upcoming webinar, The Behavioral Science of Change, on Wednesday, September 16, from 12:00–1:00 p.m. CT, and discover how behavioral science helps professionals better understand the complex relationship between people, decisions, and change.

"It isn't enough to innovate. America will struggle to win the global quantum race if we can't build at scale, at home." — Kate Timmerman

The biggest challenge in quantum isn't building the technology. It's building an industry around it.

In this podcast, Kate Timmerman, CEO of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, explains why manufacturing, supply chains, and workforce development have become just as important as scientific discovery. It's a timely discussion on what it will take to move quantum from laboratory prototypes to technologies that can be produced at scale, and what that means for jobs, national security, and U.S. competitiveness.

UChicago's Quantum Science, Networking, and Communications course is managed by the Chicago Quantum Exchange, giving participants the opportunity to learn within one of the world's leading quantum ecosystems.

Editing is one of those professions where the most valuable skill is also the hardest to define. It isn't grammar or punctuation. It's knowing how to make the right editorial decisions. What should change? What should stay? How do you strengthen a piece of writing without losing the author's voice? Those are the qualities that separate competent editors from those whom authors, publishers, and organizations trust.

Our nationally recognized Editing Certificate is built around the skills and editorial decision-making that distinguish professional editors. Master The Chicago Manual of Style and develop practical expertise in manuscript editing, copyediting, grammar, style, and working with authors. You'll also become part of a professional editorial community with access to networking opportunities, industry events, career resources, and monthly job postings.

The internet changed the world. The next version of it may rewrite the rules altogether.

UChicago Assistant Professor Tian Zhong isn't asking if the quantum internet will happen. He's helping build it.
In this interview, he explores the engineering challenges of quantum networking, the opportunities emerging for today's professionals, and why developing quantum expertise now could prove a career-defining decision.

To explore the field further, discover UChicago's Quantum Science, Networking, and Communications course, where you'll learn from leading researchers, like Professor Zhong, shaping the future of quantum technologies.

Scientific and clinical expertise will always be valuable. The ability to communicate that expertise clearly, accurately, and for different audiences is what increasingly sets professionals apart.

How do you develop the writing and editorial skills that employers value? How do you communicate complex medical information with confidence, whether you're writing for regulators, healthcare professionals, researchers, or patients?

Our Medical Writing and Editing Training Certificate develops those specialist skills through practical training in medical writing, editing, research and publication ethics, data presentation, and biostatistical reporting and interpretation, with opportunities to specialize through writing concentrations and a Regulatory Writing microcertificate.

The prerequisite course, Medical Copyediting, begins August 31.

Develop the communication skills that complement your expertise. Explore the program:

Quantum is already influencing the way organizations think about cybersecurity, communications, advanced computing, and complex problem-solving.

How do you decide which technical skills deserve your time? What makes one emerging technology worth the investment while another isn't? Are you investing in the knowledge that will keep you relevant, or waiting until it's expected? What questions should you be asking before deciding whether quantum belongs in your professional development?

These are the questions we'll tackle during UChicago's Quantum Science, Networking, and Communications Information Session on August 20. Rather than telling you why quantum matters, we'll explore where it's already making an impact, what skills the industry values, and ways to explore if building quantum expertise is the right move for you.

Register for the information session and find out whether upskilling in quantum is your next career move:

As professionals take on greater responsibility, they are expected to influence decisions, build strong working relationships, navigate difficult conversations, and lead people through change. These capabilities often become just as important as technical expertise in determining long-term career progression.

Behavioral science provides valuable insight into why people think, make decisions, and behave the way they do. Understanding these principles can help professionals communicate more effectively, influence outcomes, and lead organizational change with greater confidence.

Join Dr. Christine Lawther on Wednesday, September 16, from 12:00–1:00 p.m. CT for UChicago's webinar, The Behavioral Science of Change, and explore how behavioral science can strengthen your professional effectiveness and support long-term career growth across a wide range of industries.
