Software Engineering Certificate

The admission requirements for the certificate program are as follows:

• A bachelor’s degree in any field
• A course in computer programming or related work experience
• Undergraduate GPA of 2.9 or greater

The GRE is not required for the certificate since the certificate program is considered a non-degree seeking program. To earn the certificate, the four-course set must be completed within a four-year time limit; please note the certificate adheres to standard university policy on continuous enrollment. Students who complete the certificate with a B- or better in all four certificate courses meet the foundation requirements for acceptance into the SWEN master’s degree program and the 12 hours of completed certificate courses will fulfill 12 hours of the 30 hours required for the SWEN master’s degree. Students will need to make an application to the SWEN master’s program if they wish to complete the master’s degree after certificate completion.
