Students can earn a MicroCertificate to gain skills for their job and improve their resume. 

Program Overview

The 6-credit hour Graduate MicroCertificate in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management is open to students with a STEM undergraduate degree. Engineers need to learn about systems engineering and engineering management. Students will learn to use systems thinking and systems engineering concepts to support system decisions and to apply engineering management concepts to develop products and services. 

This MicroCertificate, which can be added to your resume, is one step in an educational pathway that could lead to a master’s degree.

With the MS in Operations Management and the MS in Engineering Management, you can start with a two-course MicroCertificate, continue with additional MicroCertificates or four-course Graduate Certificates, then apply all courses to a 10-course graduate degree. You can obtain your first credential in as little as eight weeks.
