The length of time to complete a cerificate depends upon how many classes the individual student can take each semester. Yes, there are lots of internships in computer science. Over half of the student internships available on campus require someone who has knowledge of computers and computer applications. We have many internships available for students and our work experience office can help place you in an internship. They will provide support to you and the employer during your internship.
Many students end up with real jobs after they intern with a company.
For a list of classes, please refer to the degree or certificate program in which you are interested. Each program has its own list of required classes. Computers that are purchased today will be obsolete from 2 to 3 years from now. That does not mean that the computer will not be usable. It does mean that software that is currently being sold at that point in time will probably not run on it.
