Full Stack Application Development

Develop the in-demand IT skills needed to work in the field of application development, advance your career in your current industry, or pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.

This graduate certificate program bridges the gap between the worlds of IT and all other disciplines that require IT. Systems integration and the expanded capabilities of computers, smart phones, and embedded systems are constantly evolving to meet the needs of almost every industry.

You become proficient with both the back-end and front-end of software development. You graduate with knowledge and skills in front-end, server-side, and database technologies and frameworks.

You also gain an understanding of the front-facing parts of a website that operate according to the principles of user design and user experience (UX). This includes architecture that monitors the responsiveness of applications, design features, and usability.

It's a great pathway for non-IT program graduates to develop baseline skills in application development, using their knowledge of what kind of app is needed in the world of their initial discipline.
