Bayridge is thrilled to offer students the opportunity to earn their SPECIALIST HIGH SKILLS MAJOR Certification in Information and Communication Technology. This certification is different from the Bayridge Computer Specialist certificate.

earn 6 certifications - 3 compulsory and 3 elective
participate in an experiential learning activity
participate in a reach-ahead experience
