Information Technology Undergraduate Certificate


Banner Code: VS-CERB-INFT

School: Volgenau School of Engineering  
Department: Information Sciences and Technology   

This certificate is designed primarily for those students who have earned a bachelor’s degree or current undergraduate students who desire deeper knowledge than what can be accomplished through the IT minor.  It allows students to augment the knowledge gained through their major-related courses with a foundation of information technology (IT) topics and their application within organizations to achieve organizational objectives.  Completing this undergraduate certificate provides students with the necessary skills to improve their attractiveness to employers in our technology-driven society.  The certificate requires a minimum of 24 credits, including 15 credits of core courses.  Beyond these requirements, students must select three additional IT courses (9 credits, at least 3 upper division credits).  Students pursuing the IT undergraduate certificate should consult with an advisor to select their additional courses.

Students pursuing only the undergraduate certificate in information technology will not maintain full-time status which requires a minimum of 12 credits per semester.  

Certificate Requirements


Technical Focus Courses (9 credits; at least 3 at the upper division level)
