The certificate consists of four graduate-level (500/5000 or 600/6000) courses (12 credit hours), including:

1. One course from the Phenomena Core Course List (3 credits)
2. One course from the Implementation Core Course List (3 credits)
3. HCI/PSYCH 521/5210, Cognitive Psychology of Human Computer Interaction (3 credits)
4. One general elective course; can be any graduate-level course (3 credits)

No undergraduate level (300/3000 or 400/4000) courses will be allowed on the certificate program of study. No credits (at any level) taken as an ISU undergraduate student can be used toward a student's certificate degree requirements.
