Certificates of Graduate Studies
Add the CS edge!
The Certificate of Graduate Study (COGS) is designed for graduate students seeking a specialization to their degree, or industry workers seeking to refresh their knowledge while still working a full-time job. Adding the CS Edge with a COGS program will help students become more tech-savvy, knowledgeable, and up-to-date on emerging technologies and trends. This program offers students the opportunity of specialized study with experience in key courses of a focused discipline at the graduate level.
For current students in this program, please view the corresponding page in advising materials.
Currently, we offer COGS in the following topics:
List of COGS
