Description

The Visual Basic Application Development Certificate focuses on the principles and practices necessary to design, develop, and deploy web applications using the Visual Basic interactive development environment (IDE). Graduates will be able to build real-world Visual Basic applications based on the knowledge and skills gained in the program.

This program prepares the adult learner to seek entry-level career positions such as: Web Database Developer, Visual Basic Developer, and .NET Developer. Graduates will be able to apply and use Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Visual Basic to develop web applications. Prior experience with object-oriented software development is strongly recommended.

Requirements

Applicants self-certify on their admissions application that they have received the equivalent of a U.S. high school diploma.

You have the option to undergo a Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE), but it is not a requirement. We may request official transcripts from CHEA or AUCC accredited institutions via the TCE process. Students that earned their college credit at a non-CHEA or non-AUCC accredited institution must have a course-by-course evaluation for U.S. equivalency conducted by an APUS-approved agency for the TCE

Applicants residing in the U.S. are required to have a current U.S. residency card, appropriate current Visa, or Social Security Number card and are required to submit that documentation to APUS for record retention.

Depending on the country of citizenship applicants may be required to provide documentation of English proficiency before being able to register for class.

Accreditation

Accreditation within higher education is a voluntary, nongovernmental process that gives public recognition to institutions that meet established quality standards. The purpose of accreditation is to assure the public as to the quality of an institution and its commitment to high standards through a system of continuous improvement. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) formally recognizes accrediting commissions that meet all federal standards and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) extends recognition to accrediting bodies and their institutions that meet these established standards. American Public University System (APUS) has obtained accreditation as well as specialized/programmatic accreditation.

Credits and degrees earned through APUS may be recognized for promotion, assignment, and position qualification standards within the military, federal government, and private sector. For students transferring to other colleges, APUS credit is considered transfer eligible based on its accreditation. However, APUS cannot guarantee that its credit will be accepted, as acceptance of credit is always the prerogative of the receiving institution.
