Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things

Earn your Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things

As countless devices such as the smartwatch, home thermostat, or refrigerator are getting connected to the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a highly talked about technology trend. These smart devices can collect, transmit data and adapt behavior based on usage—and they continue getting more advanced. The Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things provides an understanding of IoT technologies, architectures, standards, and regulations to build a roadmap that will develop and implement IoT applications and solutions.

Students have the option to use the coursework from their graduate certificate to continue in a Master of Science degree program offered by Graduate Programs in Software.
