Graduate Certificate in Computer Science

This four-course, graduate-level Computer Science certificate program will update your skills and broaden your knowledge in computer science, through a design-your-own-specialty certificate taught by Tufts' renowned faculty in computer science.

Program Highlights
The Computer Science certificate program is open to individuals with at least a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a closely related field with approved work experience. Computer science certificate courses are transferable into the Tufts master's program.

The flexible program allows the student to cluster course electives around a particular interest or specialty computer science research area. Courses may be chosen from regular department offerings or from COMP 150 Special Topics offerings, which are offered in particularly hot areas of interest or in a Tufts faculty member's unique specialty area.

Completion of the certificate requires grades of B- or better in all courses.

Applicants will be required to upload a copy of transcripts received from each college or university attended where credit was earned toward an undergraduate, graduate or professional degree. Transcripts for study abroad or transfer programs are not required if the course titles, grades, and credit hours are included on the transcript of the degree-granting institution. If the transcript is in a language other than English, please provide an official translation. If you are offered admission, you will be required to request that official hard copy transcripts from all of your degree granting institutions be sent directly to Tufts.
