Mobile Applications Development

In the graduate certificate program's courses, you'll learn to develop mobile apps for Google Android and Apple iOS devices. In addition to core fundamental courses, the offering will cover advanced topics in mobile app development, web and enterprise technologies, user interface (UI), user experience (UX), emerging technologies and more.

You'll apply the knowledge you gain in this college technology program to a capstone project during which you'll develop mobile apps for business, gaming, health care, social networks, the Internet of Things and other areas of interest to which your imagination takes you.

You learn app development on Google Android and Apple iOS platforms, two of the most popular platforms today.

The program offers you experience in industry-standard technology.

Mobile Applications Development courses employ project based learning (capstone project).

Knowledgeable and approachable faculty members with diverse business experience and academic credentials teach the courses.

The program courses are conveniently offered in the evenings for students concurrently pursuing a career in the software engineering field.
