Programming Certificate

The Programming post-baccalaureate certificate helps students develop skills in programming as well as systems analysis, database design and administration, and information technology project management. Working with Java, students learn how to program, but they also learn how to meet the business requirements of enterprise design, software implementation, data needs and databases, and how information systems serve the larger goals of a business or organization.
