Information Technology Certificate
A student may choose to enroll in the Information Technology Graduate Certificate program to learn specific skills in the area of information technology. The certificate program is ideal for those who are undecided about committing to a full master’s degree program but wish to pursue advanced study in this field.
Certificate Requirements
The program requires the student to complete a minimum of 12 semester credit hours of coursework with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.

Graduate admissions procedures must be followed.
