Graduate Transition Certificate in Computer Science
The Graduate Transition Certificate in Computer Science prepares individuals for Master's level computer science programs or entry-level positions in the industry. The program is designed for those students holding an accredited bachelor's degree in an area unrelated to computer science and having an interest in computer science.
The required courses are (all 3 credit hours):
|
CS 5003 |
Accelerated Introduction to Programming* |
|
CS 5123 |
Advanced Programming & Data Structures |
|
CS 5153 |
Database Systems |
|
CS 5223 |
Computer Architecture |
|
CS 5243 |
Operating Systems |
|
CS 5423 |
Mathematical Structures for Computer Science |
Prerequisites include:
Applicants with satisfactory preparation in some transition topics may be allowed to substitute up to two approved 6000-level courses for the same number of required courses.
* Students with absolutely no programming experience may prefer to take CSE1301 before CS5003.
Graduate Certificate in Software Engineering
The primary goal of the Graduate Certificate in Software Engineering (GCSWE) is to give practitioners, who have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related field and at least one year of relevant work experience, the opportunity to advance into leadership positions. The focus is on sharpening capabilities to function effectively in software engineering teams producing higher quality software. The GCSWE consists of 6 3-credit courses, namely
| Required Courses | |
|---|---|
| SWE 6623 | Software Engineering |
| SWE 6633 | Software Project Planning and Management |
| SWE 6743 | Object-Oriented Analysis and Design |
| Elective Courses | |
| Any three 6000-level classes in SWE or CS, at least one of which must be in SWE | |
Graduate Transition Certificate in Software Engineering Foundations
The GraduateTransition Certificate in Software EngineeringFoundations (GTCSWEF) prepares students with undergraduate degrees in non-computing areas to transition into the field of software engineering and consists of 5 courses.
Required (3 hours)
SWE 6623 Software Engineering
Two of the following 3 hour courses (6 hours)
CS 5003 Accelerated Introduction to Programming
CS 5123 Advanced Programming and Data Structures
CS 5423 Discrete Mathematics
AND Two of the following 1.5 hour courses (3 hours)
CS 5011 Fundamentals of Computer Architecture
CS 5021 Fundamentals of Operating Systems
CS 5031 Fundamentals of Database Systems
The Professional Certificate in Computer Programming is an undergraduate certificate that is aimed at people who have had some post-secondary education and/or several years of work experience to start careers in computer programming. The focus of the program is on programming skills, and database and web development skills.
Students who graduate from the professional certificate program will be able to:
