 Overview
The Java programming environment has become the primary choice for robust, large-scale business systems and is gaining popularity in embedded systems for portable computing devices, as well. The advent of faster processors and less expensive mass storage has allowed Java to transcend the language's original limitations, and Java's platform independence makes it suitable for developing web services and global enterprise applications. Additionally, many smaller systems and even hand-held devices can benefit from applications written in Java.
Who Should Enroll
Practicing Java programmers and software engineers who want to expand
their knowledge of the advanced capabilities that are available with
the Java programming language and development environment will find this program valuable. It
is also ideal for graduates of the Java Programming Certificate Program
who want to continue their education and acquire new skills.
Transfer Credit
As a "next step" on your educational pathway, UC Irvine Extension has an articulation agreement with Capella University in which they will accept coursework from this certificate program as credit towards a Master of Science in Information Technology, System Design and Programming Specialization.

Certificate Eligibility and Requirements
The Java EE Certificate Program is designed for Java programmers who have
achieved a level of knowledge and experience equivalent to that of
a Sun
Certified Programmer for the Java EE Platform.
If you are new to Java EE, you should begin with Overview of Java EE in order
to gain a complete perspective of the Java EE environment and its components.
Next, you need to learn the two major components of Java EE: Java servlets
and Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), which are essential for any work in
Java EE. After this point you can decide to focus on either the presentation
end (graphical user interfaces) or the backend (middleware and databases).
If you already have some Java EE knowledge, you can request a waiver of
the overview course. You still need to complete the remaining required
courses and three electives, however. Requests for a waiver can be submitted
via email to smstefan@uci.edu.
Please provide a detailed explanation of why you do not need to take
this course.
Certificate Candidacy
Students must complete three required courses and at least three elective courses with a grade of “C” or better in each
course in order to become eligible for the certificate. An Application
for Candidacy form must be submitted before completion of the third
course in the program. |
