Traditional Master’s Graduate Certificates Program

The traditional master’s program offers two graduate certificates, primarily intended for students who do not wish to pursue the complete MS degree: a graduate certificate in Systems Engineering and a graduate certificate in Systems Management. Each graduate certificate requires 12 semester credit hours. See Course Descriptions for information on course content. These graduate certificates allow students to fit their education into their busy schedules and pursue the track that best fits their career path. Students will earn academic credit for these self-supporting MS-SEM and SEM graduate certificate programs, although they are tailored for working professionals. These flexible education programs provide students with outstanding opportunities to access UT Dallas’ world-class faculty and hands-on learning experiences. Past students report that the University provided them with opportunities they would not have gotten elsewhere. Why not find out more today?

Students who wish to apply for a graduate certificate should send information on courses taken (number, title, date), along with their UT Dallas Net ID number, to:
