Certificate Programs

Miami University offers several Certificates.  A graduate Certificate is like a minor.  It consists of less than 21 credit hours and is not a degree.  For some certificates you must be a degree seeking student, while for others you can be a non-degree seeking student (CGS).  Contact the department/program sponsoring the certificate for details on admission into the certificate.  If you pursue a certificate as a non-degree seeking student, you are not eligible for financial aid.
