Outcomes & Objectives

Program Outcomes

  • Knowledge of the fundamental principles of multi-objective decision analysis including structuring decision problems, identifying objectives and effective ways to measure them, and analysis techniques for obtaining insight from the models developed.

  • A thorough understanding of risk assessment, risk analysis, and cost estimation as well as their impact on the decision making process in both military and industrial applications.

  • Awareness of the intricacies of working with multiple stakeholders, often with conflicting priorities and preferences, and the necessary facilitation.

Degree Information

Degree Type: Certificate


Delivery Method: In-Residence


Degree Requirements

Successful completion of the CCACP requires a cumulative GPA on all course work of a 3.0 (based on a 4.0 scale). Cumulative time to completion is normally 5 quarters. All required courses must be completed within a four year time period. There are no exit examinations required, and no final project. However, there are numerous projects and assignments required in the various courses that give an opportunity for the student to apply their knowledge to broad problems.
