We offer over 30 courses in five 10-week terms each year: two every fall, two every spring, and one every summer.
Class and Registration Calendar
Most classes are offered in 10-week sessions, which allows for all certificates to be completed in one year or less. Most capstone experiences for Master's students are 16 weeks in length.

What Our Students Say
Related to my job.
“The course content was related to what I was doing at my job. I was focusing on programming and development and I was able to take courses where I could implement the content at work. That was really important to me instead of just theory. ”
— Jaclyn Meade Cardillo, MGIS
