About the Program
This certificate is designed primarily for those students who have earned a nontechnical bachelor’s degree or current undergraduate students who desire deeper knowledge than that which can be accomplished through the IT minor. It allows students to supplement the knowledge gained through their major-related courses with a foundation in information technology (IT).
Program Opportunities
The IT certificate allows students with nontechnical backgrounds to augment the knowledge gained through their major-related courses with additional computer and information technology knowledge and skills to improve their attractiveness to employers in the high-technology community. Beyond the required coursework, the student is free to define a technical focus area.
