Computer Programming Certificate

Undergraduate Program for Post-Baccalaureate Students

Are you interested in pursuing a career in computer programming but do not have a background in the field? Take control and improve your outcomes with our Computer Programming Certificate (CPC). We will help you take the first step — whether you are embarking on a career change, enhancing your professional credentials or tackling prerequisite requirements for a master’s degree program.

The Computer Programming Certificate is designed for individuals with a bachelor’s degree in any field other than computer science or computer engineering. Through an eight-course program, you will build the skills you need to grow your career or pursue a master’s degree.

The certificate program, offered in conjunction with the Department of Computer Science, can be completed as a non-degree student (NDS). A certificate will be awarded to NDS students who have met the course requirements. The certificate is not part of graduation but is awarded as recognition of a student completing this series of courses.
