Available On Campus.
(Does not require an undergraduate degree.)

Villanova’s College of Professional Studies offers a certificate in Information Systems and Technology designed to help you acquire information technology and technology management skills through a broad selection of coursework in one of two tracks. A certificate in Information Systems will provide you with the background you need to excel in today's information age and global economy.

Since this certificate does not require a bachelor's degree, many students who aren't sure if they want to commit to a full degree program opt to work toward a certificate first to build their expertise and earn the certificate credential. They can then decide to continue on to an associate's or bachelor's degree and apply the credits they have already earned through the certificate.

To earn a Certificate in Information Systems and Technology from Villanova University, students will choose one of two tracks. Track A is 20 credits and aligns with prerequisites for Software Engineering graduate programs (Please note: Admission to the Software Engineering graduate program requires a bachelor’s degree). Track B is 18 credits and is more generally focused, for students interested in options related to leadership and management in business. Each track consists of six courses; four of the courses are required and two are approved electives.
