Graduate Certificate In Mainframe Technologies and Programming

The number of programmers possessing the skill base to run mainframe systems is diminishing, as current system programmers are beginning to retire in large numbers. This graduate certificate is designed to provide students with the basic skills and knowledge needed to work in a mainframe environment.
It is estimated that the 70% of the world's business data is on the mainframe. This percentage is more likely to grow than decline, given the exponential information growth of this technological age. The number of programmers possessing the skill base to maintain and program mainframe systems is diminishing, as current system programmers are beginning to retire in large numbers. New programmers are not prepared to fill these roles because colleges are not teaching these skills. This graduate certificate is designed to provide students with the basic skills and knowledge needed to work in a mainframe environment. Courses from this certificate may also serve as a specialization in the Master of Professional Studies in Informatics.
