Elevate Your Career

If you want to develop new skills to help advance your career, the graduate certificate programs offered through the College of Engineering are an excellent option for working professionals. They can also be used as an alternative pathway to earn your master’s degree. Our graduate certificate programs are designed to be “stackable” so that credits earned can count toward a master’s program with WNE if you decide to continue beyond your initial coursework. This can include multiple certificates or transitioning straight into a master’s program.

The following graduate certificates are available:
