Certificate Programs

The EE Department is currently in the planning stages of offering several new certificate programs. Certificates offer individuals an opportunity to update their skills, gain current knowledge in the field, as well as take advantage of valuable networking opportunities.

We anticipate that the first of our new certificates will begin Spring Quarter 2010 and be focused on Smart Grids.
Additional certificates in the areas of Electromagnetics, Wireless Communications, and Signal & Image Processing are also under development.

Courses in each EE certificate will utilize currently scheduled offerings in our Professional Masters Program and be offered in the evening. It is expected that each certificate will be designed as a 3-course sequence to be completed over 3 consecutive quarters (i.e. 1 course in Spring, 1 course in Summer, 1 course in Autumn). It is still to be finalized which quarter each certificate will begin.

While most students completing an individual certificate will likely end their studies after completing those requirements, we anticipate having an option for certificate students to later apply earned credits toward the full Professional Masters Program should they decide to later apply and be admitted into the full degree program.

Updates will be posted on this page as the certificates are finalized.
