The Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Certificate will equip undergraduate students with essential skills and knowledge for careers in Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic warfare (EW).
This certificate integrates foundational coursework in network analysis, wireless networking, Radio Frequency (RF) analysis, and digital signal processing to provide a comprehensive understanding of both RF and protocol fundamentals. Students will gain hands-on experience in analyzing and securing communication networks, mastering modulation and keying techniques, and applying SIGINT and EW principles. The program prepares graduates for roles in military, defense, cybersecurity, and intelligence sectors, offering a strong basis for further academic or professional advancement in these critical fields.

If you are not a current U of A student, you can apply for admission as a certificate-seeking student.
Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare is available via main campus and Arizona Online.
Students must meet the same general University of Arizona admissions criteria as degree-seeking students. The requirements and expectations are the same as a first-year, transfer or readmit student depending on what admit type a student is (first-year, transfer or readmit). Students have to fill out the application fully and submit all required transcripts and requested materials. Certificate seeking students (as in Certificate seeking only, not as part of a degree) are not eligible for merit aid or financial aid and if they apply as degree-seeking in the future, they are considered "readmits."
