Graduate Certificates

A graduate certificate program is a linked series of approved graduate-level courses which constitute a coherent body of study with a specific defined focus within a discipline. It is designed for a postbaccalaureate participant and reflects the educational mission of the University. Each graduate certificate program is approved by the Graduate Council and the Faculty Senate with a minimum number of credits and a specific set of courses which must be completed; a final project or portfolio may be required to provide for integration of the sequence of course materials.

To be admitted to a graduate certificate program, students must meet all departmental and University admission requirements. For further information on admission, as well as other aspects of a specific graduate certificate program, the appropriate department should be contacted directly.
