Academic certificate programs are prescribed sets of courses that work towards specific student learning outcomes. Most of our graduate certificate programs are available 100% online, and can be taken as a standalone program or as a part of a degree-seeking program. Exceptions are noted below.

Students must earn a grade of "B or better" in each course to use it towards a graduate certificate
Standalone students who earn a second failing grade must meet with the faculty lead before continuing in their program
Students cannot use the same course towards more than one graduate certificate
