2016-2017 Graduate Catalog

Coding Boot Camp Certificate

The Coding Boot Camp Graduate Certificate provides a strategy for graduate students looking to change or accelerate their careers. Students will learn to think like professional coders and write effective, efficient code. Depending on previous coding experience, students will take either 4 or 6 graduate programming courses offered from the actual MSCSIT degree program at Sacred Heart University. The advantage of this certificate is that all courses taken for graduate credit can be applied to the full master’s degree. The need for effective programmers is growing rapidly and this certificate can be completed by any student with a bachelor’s degree in any field.

Certificate Requirements (12 credits)

The program requires the student to complete a minimum of twelve (12) semester credit hours of coursework with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. There are two prerequisites to the certificate: CS 500 and CS 501 (see below).
