PGCert in Computer and Information Sciences, General

This online graduate certificate gives students with a first degree in either computing discipline advanced knowledge in several areas of computing. Topics span smart information systems, distributed and parallel computing, networking and software engineering, and it also introduces recent developments such as neural and evolutionary methods, image processing and data science. Finishing the certificate removes the GRE requirement for the MSCS master's degree, and classes passed with a B or better earn credit if a student is later admitted to that degree. Graduates of other fields can take four online foundation courses first. Applicants can reach the UMass Dartmouth Online team by phone or email for help with enrollment, and the page lists curriculum details, course descriptions and accreditation information. The university is based on Old Westport Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
