PGCert in Systems Engineering

The graduate certificate in systems engineering focuses on the methods and tools used to design, bring together and manage complex systems that must satisfy several goals and limits at once. Concentrations include command and control with cyber and intelligence, networking, digital engineering and architecture, enterprise resilience, finance, and tactical computer operations. The credit load depends on the concentration and the certificate can be taken part time. Applicants may enter the certificate directly without first joining a degree program. Credits can often be applied later to the master's degree in systems engineering or another degree through the university's transfer rules, and current degree students may add the certificate as a secondary credential. Eligibility rules differ by concentration, with some requiring an engineering or scientific bachelor's degree and others open to any bachelor's holder.
