Overview

Graduate Certificate in Computer Application Security (Optional Co-op)

Due to the increasing complexity of computer transactions, society’s increasing dependence on eCommerce, and the proliferation of computing devices, computer security has become a high-profile and rapidly growing industry. 

Work in this field is constantly evolving and leads to various career options, from positions that require a high level of technological sophistication to higher-level management positions. 

This graduate certificate program at Conestoga College will be attractive to graduates of software development programs, who will then learn the application security and networking skills needed to access entry-level positions offered by a wide range of software development companies. 

Students will learn to secure software applications, including networked, web and mobile applications, against threats by malware and hackers. 

These skills will be augmented with management skills so that graduates also can access careers as corporate security analysts and managers. 

Students benefit from specialized courses taught by highly qualified industry experts and, as a result, should expect classes scheduled until 8:00 p.m.

The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term.
