Certificate Option in Technology Management

Because local and regional job demands can change rapidly, Missouri State University-West Plains integrates Technical Certificate programs into its overall career education options.

These programs were developed to meet specific, short-term training and educational needs of students by combining core and specialty courses into focused, flexible training packages that more immediately meet employment needs. If later, a student decides to seek advanced education, many of the certificate courses may be combined with the advanced courses for associate of applied science degrees.
