The CIS certificate is designed to provide you with basic knowledge and skills to meet the needs of small companies that require employees with computer and network knowledge. As part of the program's strong emphasis on practical work, you get to apply what you learn in the classroom on hands-on projects in UFV's well-equipped labs. The CIS certificate provides you with a lot of flexibility: you get to choose 30 credits from degree offerings to suit your educational and career goals. You can explore a range of topics in network and database administration, web design, network security, information systems management, and programming. Or you can choose to zero in on your main area of interest.
