PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The e-Government certificate program is intended to provide public administrators at the local, state and federal levels with a greater understanding of how to manage e-Government applications. Participants will gain sufficient knowledge of the underlying technologies to adequately oversee the work of technical personnel and to help them identify opportunities for gains in operational efficiency and effectiveness. To earn the certificate, students must complete three of the five courses for a total of 12 credit hours. Depending on course scheduling and the number of courses for which a student chooses to register, the e-Government certificate program may be completed in as few as three semesters.

Learn more about these courses on the Course Descriptions page of our Web site.

The courses within the e-Government certificate program promote student and faculty interaction through online discussion groups and the use of virtual collaboration sessions. Course objectives are assessed by participation in discussion, quizzes and assignments.

To earn the e-Government certificate, students must maintain a 3.0 (out of 4.0) average for all certificate program courses.
