Certificate Programs
Overview
There
are two Post-Baccalaureate Information Technology (IT) Certificates
available. Both Certificates are designed for students who hold
bachelor’s degrees in fields other than IT, but do not wish
to seek either a master’s degree or a complete undergraduate
degree in IT.
USF Lakeland also provides a complete Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology (B.S.I.T.) degree. For those students who would like
to pursue a bachelor’s degree in IT, contact the academic
advisor at (863) 667-7064.
IT Management
Certificate
The IT Management Certificate (15 semester hours) is designed to
provide the student an application-oriented managerial background
in IT. The typical student pursuing this certificate is not looking
to change careers, but rather looking to enhance their technical
abilities in their existing job. A four year Bachelor’s degree
plus some prerequisites are required to enter the IT Management
Certificate Program.
IT Professional
Certificate
The IT Professional Certificate (30 semester hours) is designed
to help students change careers, i.e. begin a new career as an IT
Professional. All classes (15 hours) taken in the IT Management
Certificate directly apply toward the IT Professional Certificate.
Therefore, each student having completed the IT Management Certificate,
will only need 15 additional hours to complete the IT Professional
Certificate. However, certain additional prerequisites may be required
of the student prior to taking the advanced technically oriented
classes contained in the IT Professional Certificate.
Admissions Criteria
Students
wanting to enter one of the IT Certificate programs, need to fill out
an application to apply and have an official transcript sent from the
College or University where they completed their undergraduate degree.
The transcript is used to first verify that the student completed their
undergraduate degree and second to identify if any additional prerequisite
classes that may be required.
