Welcome to the e-Government online certificate program offered by the Department of Public Administration of the UIC College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs.

Make Effective Use of Government Technology to Achieve Results
e-Government, the knowledge and understanding of how to apply new information technologies in a governmental context, is an increasingly-important area of expertise for managers and executives at the federal, state and local levels. The implementation and strategic use of e-Government requires public administrators be trained in the management, policies, uses and implications of new technologies.

Local, state and federal governments have identified technology management, particularly in e-Government solutions, as an important management skill. Applicants for executive positions in many agencies must exhibit competency in technology management by remaining up-to-date on technological developments; that they make effective use of technology to achieve results; and that they can ensure access to and protect the security of technology systems. UIC’s e-Government online certificate program is taught by experienced faculty and practitioners and is designed to provide the e-Government training public administrators need to advance in the workplace.

What is Required?
To earn the e-Government certificate, students must complete any three of five certificate courses:

• Management of Information Technology in Government
• Data Management
• Internet and Public Administration
• Project Management
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Public Managers
