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 311
Production & Operations
INTM
315 Industrial Enterprises
INTM
323 Industrial Management and Planning
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.
Admission Requirements
Candidates
can be admitted to this program based on a combination of
education and job experience. Ideally, candidates should
have two or more years of college credit. However, individuals with
minimal college credit can interview by phone to determine readiness for
