Burlington County College will begin offering two computer-certificate programs in the fall in cooperation with Carnegie Technology Education, a subsidiary of Carnegie Mellon University.

They are designed to provide computer skills that are most in demand by corporate information-technology departments, said Richard Pokrass, a spokesman for Burlington County College.

The certificate in computer programming includes five courses: Web design, object-oriented programming, user-interface design and evaluation, data structures, and various computer programs. The certificate in software-system development requires five additional courses.
