CIS Certificates

Certifications will be offered in the following areas as a value-added component of the CIS Master's Degree. These certifications are not dependent on graduation from the program. The student will receive a formal UDM certificate of achievement if they complete all of the courses in a concentration area. In addition the student may contact the various bodies listed to pursue professional certification. Please note that this service is not being offered in any programmatic way. Although they will be regularly offered, the student is fully responsible for taking these courses as they appear and they must notify the College once they have completed the certification requirement. Furthermore, the College does not guarantee that an individual student will automatically qualify for credentialing from the professional bodies.
