The Computer Science post-baccalaureate certificate program provides an opportunity for academically talented, highly motivated adult students, with at least a bachelor's degree, to prepare for a new career or graduate work in computer science.
The program offers students with a bachelor’s degree, but few computer science courses, the opportunity to earn the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in computer science by completing the requirements for the minor. It is designed to give the student with a nontechnical, liberal arts degree the introductory knowledge base to enter the technology field or continue on to graduate study in computer science.
The program requires five Tufts courses, which can be completed in as few as three semesters or can be pursued on a more long-term basis. Completion of the program requires grades of B- or better in all courses. Courses numbered above 100 award graduate credit and are transferable into the Master's of Science in Computer Science program upon acceptance into that program.
The concentrated, rigorous program of study, equivalent to a minor program in computer science, prepares individuals to start a new career in high technology or to continue on for graduate study.
The curriculum spans across computer science disciplines and provides you with foundational knowledge and skills development in data structures, algorithms, hardware, and systems.
We recognize that attending graduate school involves a significant financial investment. Our team is here to answer your questions about tuition rates and scholarship opportunities.
