Program Requirements
1. Prerequisites
The core courses are formal prerequisites for most of the emphasis area electives, and in addition, have their own knowledge prerequisites. The University of Minnesota courses listed below satisfy these core knowledge prerequisites, but they are not part of the certificate program and are not included in the total credits required to complete the certificate. If you have equivalent education, technical training, or work experience, you may be able to obtain approval to waive one or more of them.
Math 1271 Calculus I (4 cr)
CSci 1133 Intro to Computing and Programing Concepts (4 cr)
CSci 1933 Intor to algorithms and Data Structures (4 cr)
CSci 2021 Machine Architecture and Organization (3 cr) or
EE 2361 Introduction to Microcontrollers (4 cr)

Also, because some of the electives are prerequisites for other electives within an area, attention must be paid to the order in which these courses are taken.
2. Complete the certificate within four years of the admission date.
