Graduate Certificate
(12 Credit Hours)
In the Carolina Lowcountry and across the U.S., there’s a growing demand for software engineers. Major employers, particularly those in the defense and business industries within the Charleston region, are increasingly interested in employees who specialize in this field.
That’s why the Department of Computer Science developed this certificate, which can be completed in the span of a single semester. In addition, faculty in this department stay current regarding the latest trends and technologies in software engineering, meaning that state-of-the-art advances are incorporated into the classroom and curricula.
