Information Technology Post-Bachelor’s Certificate
The post-bachelor’s certificate in information technology is intended for individuals who already have a bachelor’s degree in a non-IT related major and who feel that they need skills in information technology. The certificate is a professional program offered through the Lindenwood College for Individualized Education (LCIE.) Most courses are offered in the cluster format characteristic of LCIE. The certificate requires 57 semester hours of coursework. These hours consist of 18 hours of core curriculum, 36 hours of electives, and a 3 hour capstone course. Up to nine hours of this coursework can be obtained through experiential learning, exclusive of the capstone course, by those students having designated professional certifications or experience. The student will work with a faculty advisor to determine an individualized overview and curriculum.
*The requirements for this certificate have been updated as of the publication of the 2014 catalog addendum.
