Graduate Certificate in Lean & Agile Practices

Curriculum

While the SCS campus remains closed, on-campus classes will continue to be held remotely. These courses usually run during their regularly scheduled time and are held in synchronous sessions conducted via Zoom. Students should work with their academic advisors to develop course schedules that meet their academic and personal needs.

To earn a Graduate Certificate in Lean & Agile Practices, you must successfully complete the 4 required courses (12 credits total) listed below. Fundamentals must be taken first; the remaining three courses can be taken in any order you choose.

  • Agile Project Management Fundamentals (must be taken first)
  • Lean-Agile with Scrum and Kanban
  • Agile Frameworks for Lean Enterprises
  • DevOps Essentials

Once you complete the 12 credits required to earn this certificate, you’ll have the opportunity to apply these credits toward the 30-credit Master's in Project Management or the 30-credit Master’s in Technology Management.

You’ll have the flexibility to earn your certificate at a pace that suits your schedule—you can take up to 9 credits per semester and have up to two years to complete the program.

  • Full-time students typically take three courses during the fall and spring semesters, and two courses during the summer semester.
  • Part-time students typically take one to two courses during the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

The Graduate Certificate in Lean & Agile Practices is available in both an online format and an on-campus format. You can opt to take classes online, on campus, or through a combination of both.
