| The certificate in Computer Science provides a
solid foundation in computer concepts, programming, theory and
hardware so that the student can utilize these skills alongside
another major in the marketplace. It is intended for students who
wish an in-depth study of Computer Science while pursuing a
different major or who are not matriculated at the college
(enrolled in a degree program.)
Students completing the certificate would be more employable
than those who complete the same major but without the computer
background. The Computer Science certificate program could also be
used as a stand-alone course of study for individuals who wish to
enhance their employment opportunities or gain skills and
knowledge in Computer Science for professional advancement.

Note that the electives, one of which must be a 300 or 400
level class, are chosen in consultation with an advisor.
Many times a student is not quite sure what she wants to major
when she gets to college, so she makes a choice that turns out
later to be less than satisfactory. If this student starts out as
a Computer Science major, but then switches to a different major,
she can continue on and finish the certificate, since all of the
courses in the first two years are the same for both the
certificate and the major. |
