Certificate Programs
Certificates are ideal for students and professionals who are not able to complete the BS or MS degree, but who want a basic understanding of techniques and applications within a specific discipline. Certificates can be particularly useful, because success in the modern workplace requires knowledge and insights that cross traditional disciplinary bounds. Certificates allow students to concentrate on particular fields of direct relevance to their current careers.
