This page describes the curriculum requirements for the Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering (GCSE). The GCSE is offered both on-campus and through U-online. The director of the MSSE is also the director of the GCSE. The director must approve any course substitutions. At most one class can be transferred from another institution, and this class must be approved by the Director of the GCSE.
Prerequisites
The student must have completed a year of calculus
The student must have completed a semester so statistics
It is recommended that the student have at least one class in computer programming
Graduate Certificate Requirements (Identical for on-campus or online)
- Apply and be admitted to the Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering
- Complete the required 15 hours of courses with a grade of B or higher in every course.
- Fill out the GCSE completion form in the semester that the certificate is to be awarded.
- This form must be filled out after the semester starts and before finals week.
- To get your name in the Spring Commencement Program, the form must be filled out prior to Feb. 15.
