The department offers graduate-level certificates in computer science and human-computer interaction. The certificates are offered on a part-time, non-degree basis for students seeking professional training in these fields. In most cases, courses taken in a certificate program can be transferred into a graduate degree program.

• Certificate in Computer Science

  This program is suitable for applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree in Computer Science or closely related field. It gives individuals an opportunity to sample from advanced topics in the field without committing to a full length degree program. For more information see: Certificate in Computer Science

  Note that the certificates are offered on a part-time, non-degree basis for students seeking professional training. In most cases, courses taken in a certificate program can be transferred into a graduate degree program.

• Certificate in Human-Computer Interaction

  This is an inter-disciplinary program supported by several departments. The program is open to individuals with a bachelor's degree and is especially useful for computer programmers, web designers, software engineers, human factors professionals, user interface designers, and others who wish to develop or enhance their user interface design and implementation skills. For more information see: Human-Computer Interaction Certificate.

  Note that the certificates are offered on a part-time, non-degree basis for students seeking professional training. In most cases, courses taken in a certificate program can be transferred into a graduate degree program.

• Post-Baccalaureate Minor Program in Computer Science

  The program is suitable for applicants with at least a bachelor's degree in any discipline (BA or BS), and one college-level introductory computer course*, preferably C or C++. The degree provides a rigorous program of study, equivalent to a "minor" program in computer science. It is well suited as a first step for individuals with aptitude for the subject who are looking for a career change. Additional information.

• Graduate Career Advancement Program

  The graduate school also allows students to explore their interests by taking courses while not committed to any degree program. Additional information.
