Certificate Programs
A Graduate Certificate is like a minor:
- A certificate consists of 12-17 graduate credit hours and is not a degree.
- Some certificates require you to be a degree-seeking student. For others, you can be a graduate certificate-seeking student.
- Students obtaining only a graduate certificate are not eligible for financial aid.
- For Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) please this webpage.
