Great specialization, as close to a real university course series as possible in this online setting.

Advanced Data Structures, RSA and Quantum Algorithms
Introduces number-theory based cryptography, basics of quantum algorithms and advanced data-structures. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Masters of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS) degrees offered on the Coursera platform. This fully accredited graduate degree offer targeted courses, short 8-week sessions, and pay-as-you-go tuition. Admission is based on performance in three preliminary courses, not academic history. CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for recent graduates or working professionals. Learn more: MS in Computer Science: https://coursera.org/degrees/ms-computer-science-boulder

Amazing teaching, well made tasks and assessments. However, some computing task takes quite a while, a lot of code to familiarize with before you can solve the problems.

Reviewed May 23, 2024This is a highly valuable course for learning the basics of quantum algorithms. The difficulty adjustments of programming tasks, which require serious consideration to pass, are also exquisite.

Reviewed Jul 8, 2024The concepts taught in this course are very challenging. The programming assignments will similarly require a lot of thought to solve, particularly the last few Programming Assignments. It is a fitting end to the specialization and leaves room for further exploration in Security and Quantum Computing.

Reviewed Jun 8, 2025This course was truly insightful and well-structured. It provided a great blend of advanced data structures and cryptography concepts, especially RSA, along with an introductory view into quantum algorithms. The explanations were clear, and the examples helped in understanding even the complex topics like GCD, Bezout’s Identity, and RSA's mathematical foundation. The part on quantum computing sparked a lot of curiosity—it’s complex but exciting! Definitely recommended for anyone interested in both classical and modern algorithmic techniques.

Reviewed Jan 12, 2026There's really no point in taking any of these CU Boulder courses if the program it gets you into is going to treat you like a second class student.
