Albany State University

Certificate in Computer Technology Option

Program Description

This option allows students to enroll in an array of courses in technology and in the content area of choice. This option provides needed flexibility without requiring an option to be created every time there is a specific need. For example, a certificate could be readily customized to meet the needs of an educator who desires courses in the content area of instruction and in technology. The certificate could be utilized just as easily by a student desiring to enroll in art with a technology emphasis. Fifteen hours of the program must be taken in technology related courses, and no more than nine hours can be taken in core curriculum courses.
