Five certificate programs are available in Management Information Systems. These certificates are designed for professionals who want to (1) refine their IT skills; (2) expand their IT skills; (3) refine/enhance their skills but don’t want to pursue a master’s degree; (4) refine/expand their IT skills without going for another master’s degree. 

Certificates can be earned as part of a master’s degree. Students earning certificates without being enrolled in a master’s degree may request permission to apply certificate courses to a degree program at a later date.
