*_ _*

Beginning August 2007, an online graduate certificate program in 
Knowledge Management will be offered through Kent State University for 
individuals seeking to improve skills and employment opportunities in 
the knowledge management field. Online courses link students, 
instructors, and guest speakers on a global scale and offer the 
flexibility of coursework completion at times convenient to the student.

Admission requirements include an earned undergraduate bachelor’s 
degree, GPA thresholds, work experience, and letters of recommendation. 
Students are required to complete the certificate program within four 
calendar years but can complete the program requirements in as little as 
12 months by taking two courses each semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer).

This certificate is a valuable component to business, computer science, 
information science, management, and other similar degrees. Employees 
with knowledge management training are highly valued by many 
organizations and agencies. Kent State graduates are employed by leading 
firms in the region and nationwide.

In addition to the new online graduate certificate program, Kent State 
University offers a special interdisciplinary Masters program in 
Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) which explores 
in-depth how to effectively manage the information environment for 
business, industry, and public institutions. Masters of Science Degrees 
can be earned with individual concentrations in Information 
Architecture, Information Use, and Knowledge Management.

For information on the knowledge management graduate certificate program 
and interdisciplinary IAKM degrees, visit the website at
