They can then decide to continue on to an associate's or bachelor's degree and apply the credits they have already earned through the certificate.

Track A is 14 credits and aligns with prerequisites for Software Engineering graduate programs (Please note: Admission to the Software Engineering graduate program requires a bachelor’s degree). Track B is 12 credits and is more generally focused, for students interested in options related to leadership and management in business.
