请问有人了解UW的CSSE Graduate Certificate吗？

在UW的CSSE系网站上看到这样一段话：
“Admission to the Master of Science in Computer Science & Software Engineering requires the completion of a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related field. Applicants should have completed at least the following undergraduate courses: data structures, algorithms, computer systems, and software engineering or have obtained experience in these areas professionally.  Applicants with a bachelors degree in other areas can fulfill these prerequisites through the completion of the Graduate Certificate in Software Design & Development. ”  
求教~上面说Graduate Certificate是给非CS本科的学生设立的，是不是就相当于一个CS预科班？
求了解的同志给点这方面的信息~~灰常感谢！！
官方网站在这：http://www.uwb.edu/mscsse/gcsdd  跪求更详细的信息~

UW Bothell 跟 Seattle还是不一样的吧...lz要申这个?
Certificate看起来似乎是确实像是个预科班,上完就补完所有课了

非常感谢~我是在UW官网上点了CSSE的program才进了bothell的网页的，现在看来bothell学院不是西雅图校区的。。那要是转专业读西雅图的CS有没有这种预科班的？

UW的CS只有PhD
