The United States Air Force has a need for a workforce that is competent in Low Observables (LO) Radio Frequency (RF) Engineering. The Graduate LO RF Engineering Certificate Program is designed for students with traditional engineering backgrounds (mechanical, electrical, aerospace, etc.) and produces graduates who can effectively approach and analyze complex LO problems, design feasible solutions, and select an appropriate solution. The intended audience consists of early to mid-career civilian, military, and Department of Defense (DoD) contractors working with military systems employing LO technologies for survivability.

The curriculum consists of five graduate level courses for a total of 20 graduate credits. These courses provide a common breadth of knowledge and the basic building blocks for all Air Force and DoD LO Engineers. The program is intended to be four quarters in length starting in the summer term where a student would take the LO introduction course, two courses during the fall term, and one course during the winter and spring terms. The typical program duration is approximately 12 months. If the student is not able to take two courses per quarter as indicated, the time to complete extends to 18 months. No additional electives or research hours are required for the certificate.
