Computer Programming Certificate

Certificate in Computer Programming I & II

Computer Programming certificates I and II are designed to provide students with entry level computer programming skills and empower professionals to take the next steps in their career. Both Certificates are stackable into the Bachelors of Computer Science, Cyber Security, an IT Management degrees offered 100% online at EOU. 

If you have a desire to understand better how software and hardware can be used to improve people’s lives, or intend to make a career out of developing and refining technological processes, consider getting a certificate in Computer Programming I or II online through Eastern Oregon University.


Certificate in Computer Programming I Courses

Prior to beginning the certificate program, students must take the Math Accuplacer. Students who do not place into MATH 111 or above must complete MATH 111 before beginning the certificate coursework.

Students must complete all courses with a ā€œCā€ (or better) to earn credit for certificates.

Students must complete the Certificate in Computer Programming I coursework before starting work on the Certificate in Computer Programming II.

MATH 111 is a required pre-requisite for this program. [Online students can complete MATH 111A/111B in lieu of MATH 111]
