Software Systems Engineering (Certificate)
“The demand for Software and Systems Engineering expertise is increasing in terms of the requirements present in many technology-oriented companies. UNH’s provision of the graduate course program will provide the opportunity for motivated individuals to acquire the education required to be successful and to assist in ensuring the success of BAE Systems and other companies.”
--Gerard Quintanar
Director, BAE Systems
About the Software Systems Engineering Certificate Program
Does your company rely upon the same few individuals to launch software products and shepherd them to deployment? Who makes the tough decisions in your company concerning architecture, performance, availability, security, or safety?
Engineers who are successful at this “big picture” work are rare, which is why we are launching a Graduate Certificate Program for Software Systems Engineering. Companies that take advantage of this program will be well-equipped to utilize the innate talents of promising software engineers and transition them into the higher value position of software systems engineer. These invaluable senior technical leaders hold titles such as, software system engineer, software architect, chief engineer, technical director, and lead system engineer.
Students are required to complete four courses to earn the Certificate for Software Systems Engineers. Two courses and two electives are required. Courses can later be transferred to an M.S. degree program if desired. Prospective students may take one course prior to enrolling in the Certificate Program.

“Job candidates with academic experience like this will stand out from the pack, to me and my management/hiring team.”
-- Peter Clairmont, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering Computer Associates, Inc., Portsmouth, NH
“The proposed Certificate Program in Software Systems Engineering offers companies like Markem-Imaje a great opportunity to provide their engineers with a solid understanding of software systems engineering which our engineers can combine with their real-world experiences to become talented Software and Systems Architects.”
-- Christopher Sullivan, Director, Product Platform Development, Markem-Imaje Corporation, Keene, NH
“I believe those currently in software engineering roles will benefit from this program by learning about other aspects of the full software engineering lifecycle, providing the ability to move up or laterally within the software development organization.”
-- David Todaro, Vice President, Principal, BID2WIN Software, Inc., Portsmouth, NH
