Data Management (DM) is the practice of managing data-related issues for organizations. Data management practitioners seek to optimize the design, storage, and use of organizational data. The certificate in Data Management is open to anyone with an associate or bachelor's degree in IT. UNO students enrolled in the Division of Continuing Studies Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies degree program with an IT-related concentration and students in any of the College of IS&T undergraduate degree programs are also eligible to enroll in this certificate program. Undergraduate certificates allow the College of IS&T to offer a path for individuals who do not hold a bachelor's degree to advance their education along a focused, profession-orientated course of study and to have those studies acknowledged, documented, and later (should the student so desire), applied to a related bachelor's degree program.
