IT-Programming (CRT.ITPROG)

The certificate in IT-Programming lays the foundation for an entry-level career in a software development related job. The certificate is an excellent supplement for any IT program and can be applied toward completing other Information Technology degrees. The coursework provides the training for using technologies essential for software development, including front end and back end programming languages, version control, database management, web application development and project management.

The program follows the ever-evolving nature of technology, so requirements and course content will change over time. A degree audit determines specific degree/graduation requirements.
