The Advanced Certificate in Strategic Management of Digital Assets and
Services program, which is offered entirely online
<http://ischool.sjsu.edu/prospective-students/discover-online-learning?utm_s
ource=listservs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AdvCert> , allows students the
opportunity to customize their education by offering three different
certificate pathways
<http://ischool.sjsu.edu/programs/advanced-certificate-strategic-management/
pathways-courses?utm_source=listservs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AdvCert>
: Digital Assets Management; Information Governance, Assurance, and
Security; and Data Analytics and Data Driven Decision Making. Students
choose three courses in a particular pathway for a total of nine units to
complete the program.

 

All three pathways share the same overarching learning outcomes highly
prized by employers. First, certificate holders will demonstrate proficiency
in "identifying, using, and evaluating current and emerging information and
communication technologies to connect individuals or groups with accurate,
relevant, and appropriate information." Second, students completing the
program will "apply the fundamental principles of planning, management,
marketing, and advocacy to the selection, evaluation, organization,
curation, and security of physical and digital information items."

 

Students following the Digital Assets Management pathway will choose from a
variety of courses designed to highlight the ways that digital content
management, digital curation tools and services, and new digital media
characteristics are used in a variety of information organizations. The
Information Governance, Assurance, and Security pathway focuses on
cybersecurity and best practices in information governance in organizational
and networked contexts. Individuals drawn to the Data Analytics and Data
Driven Decision Making pathway will take courses concentrating on big data,
information visualization, and social media research.

 

The goal of the advanced certificate program is to ensure information
professionals gain the practical skills necessary to navigate the
increasingly complex world of digital assets and services and to manage all
types of digital content successfully and make it accessible to users.
