Will I receive a diploma or certificate?
Students do not receive a diploma since this is not a degree program; however, students will receive a printed certificate upon completion of a certificate program. The certificate completion will be also be noted on the student’s transcript.
Do I need prerequisites or foundation courses?
This depends on the certificate program. The MMIS 6299 course in the IS Data Analytics Certificate requires a prerequisite of a college-level statistics course and MMIS 6198 or equivalent ERP experience. The Director of Graduate Programs in Business, in consultation with the Chair of the IS/CS Department, can review your transcript(s) to determine if the prerequisites have been satisfied. Students who have not had a college-level statistics course can purchase and complete an online, self-paced module to satisfy this requirement. Please contact the Office of Graduate Programs in Business at 478-445-5115 for more information on the statistics module.
