Introduction
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate program in Computer Science is open to individuals with at least a bachelor's degree in any discipline (B.A. or B.S.) and one college-level introductory computer course.
The program is particularly well-suited for individuals preparing to re-enter the workforce, mid-level professionals looking to move into the field of computer science, and those preparing for graduate school. Accepted students are required to develop an individualized plan of study with their adviser, based on their academic history and professional goals.
