These are three-credit courses, meeting two hours in the classroom and two hours in the lab each week for 17 weeks. All sections are in the late afternoon and evening. Class work stresses hands-on programming through projects, and students are welcome to work on assignments at home or at work if they have the tools, which are mostly free (the Java Development Kit or PHP, for example).

Completing the certificate takes two years taking one course per semester. The express track allows completion in one year taking two courses per semester.

This certificate is offered through the Arts and Sciences Center, which accepts applications for admittance into the certificate. This is a simple process separate from applying to MATC and involves no application fee. Applications are available in the Arts and Sciences Center office. All applicants will be contacted by email shortly after submitting an application.

Although four courses must be taken to obtain the certificate, qualified "special students" are welcome to take individual classes, room permitting (a certain number of seats are reserved for certificate students). Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis.

Obtaining the certificate requires taking four courses: one required, two chosen from a set of general electives, and a fourth capstone course chosen from a set of two. Intro to Internet Programming is required and should be taken first. Students must take two of several elective courses listed. The final capstone courses are Enterprise Java & JSP and PHP and MySQL Programming one is required and should be taken last.
