Instead of a Master’s degree, or, along with a Master’s degree, students in the professional program may also choose to get graduate certificates, either a graduate certificate in Systems Engineering, or a graduate certificate in Systems Management, or both. These graduate certificates each require 12 credit hours as described below, and are offered in the same ten-session. four-hour-per-session format. For more information about these courses see the Course Descriptions. The intent of these graduate certificates is to provide busy professionals with access to specialized education to help meet their career goals. Students will earn academic credit for these self-supporting MS-SEM and SEM graduate certificate programs, although they are tailored for working professionals. Top-notch faculty and the flexible content and format of this program provide working professionals a unique opportunity to best position themselves to advance their careers. If you would like to learn more, testimonials from graduates of this program can be found in the Media section.
