Software Engineering Graduate Certificate

This graduate certificate program provides knowledge, tools, and techniques to those who are working in or planning to work in software engineering. Offered on a part-time or full-time basis, this certificate can be pursued alone, concurrently with any of the graduate degree programs in the College of Engineering and Computing, or used toward completion of the MS in Software Engineering at a later time.

Admissions

In addition to general admission requirements of the university,  applicants must have earned a GPA of 3.00 or better on a 4.0 scale in the last 60 credits of their baccalaureate degree. Other application requirements are as follows:

• A one-page statement of educational and career goals
• Current resume
