Industrial Technology and Management Certificate Program
The Industrial Technology and Management Certificate is appropriate for individuals with a variety of backgrounds who need a better understanding of industrial operations to perform their current jobs and qualify for promotions. For persons who already have a Bachelor's degree, the certificate provides a focused introduction to industry and operations management. For persons with some college experience, this certificate would provide additional education and could also lay the groundwork for earning a Bachelor's degree.
The INTM Certificate Program requires the completion of three (3) courses:
INTM 315 Industrial Enterprises
INTM 322 Industrial Project Management
INTM 410 Operations Management
The INTM Certificate is issued upon completion of these three courses. For each course completed, three hours of college credit will be awarded, which can be applied to the INTM undergraduate degree program. INTM Certificate courses are offered at IIT's Main Campus (Chicago IL), IIT's Rice Campus (Wheaton IL), and on the Internet.
During fall and spring semesters, each course is offered one night per week or on Saturdays (for 3 hours per class session) for 16 weeks. During the summer semester, courses meet two nights per week for 8 weeks. Each of the three courses will be offered at least once per year at Main Campus and Rice Campus so that an individual can earn the certificate in one year.
