Admission Requirements: Students must have an undergraduate degree in science
or engineering or 5-years directly relevant professional experience. Students
who complete the professional certificate and meet other admissions requirements
can later apply for admission as a degree-seeking student in one of the graduate
degree programs. For those students admitted to a graduate degree program, the
courses taken to complete the professional certificate will count toward the
graduate degree requirements.
GPA Requirements: Students must complete the courses with a GPA of 3.00 on
a 4.00 scale.
Time Limit: Courses must be completed with 3 years from admission to the program.
