Overview

The Advanced Certificate in Software Development and Engineering from Pace University includes design, requirements, and quality assurance. Certificate participants get to choose two electives that fit their professional needs.

The world needs software developers who are knowledgeable and prepared to meet the evolving challenges of modern software development. Frequent technology changes and a shortage of highly trained software engineering talent has increased the need for upskilling and reskilling. An advanced certificate can help bridge these gaps.

Who Should Apply

This certificate is an excellent option for computer science professionals who want to expand their software development skills without pursuing a full master’s degree.

Recent graduates or career changers who want to explore software engineering can take this certificate as well, and then apply these courses to the full master’s programme if they decide they want more in-depth training.

Applicants should have either a degree in or professional experience in a computing field. They should also have knowledge of programming languages. Otherwise, they will need to take a prerequisite course in Java fundamentals.
