Program Snapshot

We offer four graduate certificates:

The Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering Practice is an introduction to systems engineering aimed a giving you key skills for working on complex systems.
The Graduate Certificate in Human Systems Integration focuses on the intricate relationships among people, technology, and the environment.
The Systems Security Certificate will teach you how to analyze, implement, measure, validate, and verify security properties.
The Graduate Certificate in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) teaches how to apply formalized computer modeling to support complex engineering activities.

Students may apply for – and complete – a certificate, or may apply for both a certificate and a degree program (separate applications, but can be completed in the same semester). This allows students to start with a certificate and continue on to a more advanced degree. Certificates can be completed along with a degree program.
