Program Director
Yu-Dong Yao

The combination of sophisticated information repositories, powerful desktop computers, and routine Internet access has handed the power of information systems to nearly everyone, everywhere. It has transformed global business and extended individual access to information-rich sources. This instructor-led e-learning four-course graduate certificate program covers design, deployment, maintenance, and upgrade of information systems. Explore information repositories, data networks, user interfaces, security and assurance, multimedia, and other current and future systems. Become familiar with sophisticated techniques in database design, search mechanisms, and other features that form the basis of corporate infrastructure. Study the evolution and scaling of advanced information systems, focussing on entire systems, as well as hardware and software components. Understand general engineering principles, mathematical and analytical reasoning, digital logic design, computer organization and system design, programming languages, data organization and manipulation, asynchronous distributed algorithm design and analysis, fundamental principles of networking, modeling and simulation, and computational intelligence techniques.

A graduate certificate program from Stevens' School of Engineering available online. Co-sponsored by AACEI, ACM, AIChE, ASCE, IEEE, NECA, NSPE, and SNAME.

If you're a professional with a bachelor's degree, you can earn a graduate certificate or a masters degree in an outstanding online Networked Information Systems program delivered by the same superior faculty who teach in conventional settings. You receive the finest professional education using rich Internet features -- threaded discussions, chat, bulletin boards, e-mail, file sharing, whiteboards, and workgroups for in-depth participation. You also have online library privileges, with instant search and retrieval of important databases.

I just completed my Graduate Certificate and I strongly recommend the Stevens’ WebCampus curriculum to anyone interested in improving their academic credentials while working full time. WebCampus offers flexibility, challenging and informative lessons, and an education that can actually be used in the real-world workplace. Denise O’Brien, Project Manager, AT&T"
