Certificate in Computer Science

University of Akron

This certificate program is designed for both degree and non-degree seeking students or professionals who want to build a foundation in computer science and expand their skill set. To qualify for the Computer Science Certificate Program, a student must have earned a bachelor's degree in another major program and must submit to the department chair of Computer Science a written request for admission to the program. The request will outline the student's reasons and goals for enrolling in the program. A minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in the certificate program is required. To minimize double counting of credits among different degree programs, the elective credits earned in the certificate program cannot be counted towards any other programs (major, minor or certificate) at The University of Akron. In addition, the credits earned in the Computer Science certificate program cannot be counted towards the Computer Science Minor Program.
