The University of New Hampshire will offer its first pair of online graduate certificates this fall in ubiquitous computing and wireless communication systems. The electrical engineering certificates are the fifth and sixth graduate programs offered by UNH Online.
Each certificate is composed of four courses offered completely online. Courses are asynchronous, meaning students can participate, view lectures, complete assignments, and access materials at any time. Although each certificate can be completed in nine months, the time to completion is customizable to meet different career paths.
Applications are now being accepted for the fall term, which begins in late August. For more information about the online ubiquitous computing certificate, click here. For information about wireless communication systems, click here.
