This certificate is designed primarily for those students who have earned a nontechnical bachelor’s degree. It allows students with nontechnical backgrounds to augment the knowledge gained through their major-related courses with additional computer and IT knowledge, and skills to improve their attractiveness to employers in the high-technology community. This certificate requires a minimum of 24 credits, including 15 credits of core courses. Beyond these requirements, the student is free to define a technical focus area. The focus area must be composed of at least three courses (9 credits) approved by an IT Advisor. Students pursuing only the undergraduate certificate in applied information technology will not maintain full-time status which requires a minimum of 12 credits per semester.

-Students must choose from the approved list of technical focus area courses.
