The .NET Technology graduate certificate is a comprehensive and consistent programming model for building applications that can provide visually stunning user experiences and the ability to provide a multiple tiered approach to creating and delivering a variety of applications for web-based programming.

This certificate will allow the student to work with and build projects in several of the most common and widely used .NET applications including VB.NET, C# and ASP.NET. All courses taken in this certificate program may be applied to a full MSCIS degree.

The program requires the student to complete a minimum of twelve (12) semester credit hours of course work with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. There are two prerequisites to the certificate: CS 500 and CS 501 (see below).

Prerequisite Courses

If required

This is an introductory course in computer programming using a structured programming language. Representative topics include iteration, selection, procedures, functions, arrays, and classes.

A continuation of CS 500, utilizing a structured programming language and classes to further implement multidimensional arrays and other data structures including linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and more. This course also provides introduction to recursion and data abstraction.
Prerequisite: Take CS-500

Required Courses

This course introduces the fundamentals of writing Windows applications, event-driven programming, and the GUI. Topics include dialogues, menus, controls, data types, scope and life of variables, objects and instances, fonts and graphics, simple file I/O, and other DLL procedures. VB.net is used in implementing various Windows applications.
Prerequisite: Take CS-500;

Covers Active Server Pages and how they allow for powerful website creation by combining program code with standard HTML. The class is presented in a tutorial system application. Students will successfully learn how to program using Visual Basic Script, the most commonly used ASP programming language. Other relevant topics include integrating databases with a website and effective site functionality.
Prerequisite: Take CS-552 and CS -603
