Cert in Computer Science

This undergraduate certificate gives students a grounding in computer science. It suits those whose preparation is not yet enough for the master's program and those who want applications skills without completing a bachelor's degree. Requirements include several foundational computer science courses, a math course, an elective and an application elective, with a 2.0 GPA needed across them. Because of prerequisite chains, the certificate typically takes four semesters, and students may begin in spring, summer or fall. Applicants use a DocuSign form handled by the Registrar's Office. Prospective students should review the application steps and deadlines on the program page and contact the university for guidance. Cost questions are directed to the Bursar's Office and the admissions and financial aid pages, and the page also lists the curriculum so applicants can plan their coursework before they enroll.
