CIS - Certificate Programs

(Notice:  The CIS Certificate Programs are being phased out and we are no longer accepting new applications)

Certificate programs provide opportunities to successfully complete a series of five to eight academic credit courses that focus on a particular area of career interest. Each certificate program is designed to stand alone or merge with your degree program major or minor.

You can apply for the certificate(s) in the semester when you are completing the last required course. Type your course completion data along with some personal information into the PDF form, print it, and submit it to the department. You have to fill out a separate form for each certificate you are applying for.

The certificate title and date of award will appear on your transcript. The certificate programs are coordinated by the Computer Information Systems Department.
For additional information, please contact Dr. Abel Moreno, 303-556-3123.
