Each certificate is comprised of selected graduate-level courses from the systems-engineering curriculum, which can form the foundation of a subsequent Master’s degree.  The three tiers are as follows:.

  1. Core curriculum – A student may earn two certificates by successfully completing prescribed courses that comprise the core courses of Master of Science Degree with a major in Systems Engineering. The certificates are:
     
    • Certificate in Systems EngineeringFundamentals designed to provide the student a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of systems engineering and consists of three courses: EMIS 7301, EMIS 7303 and EMIS 7307.
    • Certificate in Systems Analysis designed to provide the student a variety of systems analysis methods with selected application to system analyses & optimization and consists of two courses: EMIS 7300 and EMIS 7305.
       
  2. Specialty curricula – After completing the core curriculum, the student may take additional courses to earn specialty certificates. The certificates are: Certificate in Systems Design and Development (EMIS 7310 and EMIS 7312) and Certificate in Reliability and Logistics Systems Engineering (EMIS 7369 or EMIS 7330 and EMIS 7340).  Each of these certificate programs comprises two courses beyond the core that give the student a through understanding in a focus area.  Additional certificates may be defined as new courses are added.
     
  3. Master’s degree – The student may apply for admission to the Masters of Science in Systems Engineering degree program at any point in the certificate series.  Upon admission, graduate courses successfully completed in the certificate series may be applied toward the Master’s degree as applicable
