Plan of Study

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Academic Certificate in 2 years. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

Meet with the Academic Program Advisor and consult DegreeWorks for specific degree requirements.

Advising Notes

This certificate program provides a “milestone” for students while completing prerequisite courses for the Electrical Engineering APE degree.  Some of the courses in this certificate are required for the APE degree.  Other courses provide students with excellent marketable skills that don’t fit into the APE degree curriculum.
