Certificate Requirements
The certificate programs are intended to provide additional credentialing for students wanting to highlight a specific set of skills.
- Certificates are open only to undergraduate degree-seeking students and must be declared by the time the student submits the Application for Degree.
- Certificate programs must be a minimum of 18 quarter hours.
- A grade lower than C- will not apply to the certificate.
- A course may satisfy a certificate requirement while simultaneously counting toward the credit requirement of a major or concentration.
- Unless otherwise specified, all electives applied to the certificate must be courses offered by the certificate department.
Certificates will not be part of the commencement program nor be included on the diploma. A separate paper certificate will be given in addition to the diploma upon degree completion. The certificate will appear on the official transcript. This policy only applies to credit-bearing certificates and does not apply the non-credit Professional Work Development certificates offered through CORE.
