NTU Certificate Programs

NTU's graduate certificate programs are taught by experts from industry and leading universities. The programs are designed to provide mastery of the certificate topic area without a major commitment of time or resources. They are an excellent source of knowledge and expertise for individuals looking to keep pace with the rapidly advancing technology in their field or for those looking to broaden their knowledge into another area. Courses taken to earn a certificate may also be applied toward a master's degree.

The certificate programs are available to all engineering, computer/information technology, and management professionals. While a bachelor's degree in the field is recommended, it is not required — students interested in certificate programs simply register for the certificate program and the first course of the program.
