From smartphones to smart homes, we live in the era of ubiquitous computing, or ubicomp, which is the idea that computing functions should be accessible anytime, anywhere through everyday objects in your life. At home, work and play, your daily devices communicate and connect you to your network and beyond. At UNH, you’ll earn a graduate certificate in as few as nine months in this online program, learning how to develop and deploy systems that are considered part of the third wave of computing.
Our ubiquitous computing certificate will help you advance your career and give you the skills to excel in fields such as ubicomp, mobile applications, the internet of things, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence. The asynchronous program format allows for a great deal of flexibility, meaning you can complete readings and coursework on your own schedule, but you’ll also enjoy facilitated discussion with course instructors, as well as the support of a student success coach.
