Certificate in Advanced Computer Programming

The Certificate in Advanced Computer Programming builds upon the skills developed in the Certificate in Computer Programming by training professionals and current students in mid-size software development projects, macro-level problem solving, project management, working in teams, etc. Students who complete this certificate will receive training in computer architecture, systems analysis and design, and one additional elective course (applied deep learning, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, databases, embedded systems, game programming, mobile computing, security, software engineering, web programming, etc.)

A student who has earned this certificate may afterwards continue to take additional courses and earn the B.S. in Computer Science.

Students should contact the department office (info@cs.iusb.edu or (574) 520-5521) before their first semester to schedule a meeting with a computer science advisor to develop a plan for their academic course of study.
