The use of technology and analytical methods has
become increasingly important in our global society. Such massive use
of technology has in turn created a growing demand for technically
adept employees. This certificate is for those who already have a
bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. Students
entering this certificate must have math skills at least equivalent to
basic algebra (e.g. MATH A100). The goal of this certificate is to
provide these students the necessary technical expertise for the
application of information technology to their respective field.
