Certificate Programs
The university offers a variety of programs leading to a certificate of competency
in special areas. Certificates may be earned by regularly matriculated or extended
learning students and denote successful completion of a prescribed program of study
designed to impart specified professional/vocational/career competencies, or produce
mastery of the content of a sub-field of an academic major (discipline), or provide
exposure to the range of materials in a traditional or emerging interdisciplinary
field.
Courses offered for the certificate may be the same ones used to satisfy major,
minor, credential or general education requirements. In order to qualify for a certificate,
undergraduate candidates must earn a grade point average of 2.0 ("C") or better
in applicable course work. Post-baccalaureate candidates must earn a grade point
average of 2.5. Standards for individual programs may exceed this minimum. Candidates
must also receive two-thirds of their certificate-applicable credit from the university.
The transferring of credit or the substitution of courses may occur only after application
to the appropriate campus authority.
The certificate is awarded upon confirmation that the requirements for that program
have been satisfied. The candidate is responsible for filing an application with
the Office of Records, Registration and Evaluations for granting of the certificate,
no later than the last term of certificate-applicable study, and for notifying the
coordinator of the certificate program of completion of required course work. The
awarding of a certificate will be noted on the student's transcript.
Further information regarding the certificates offered by the university can be
found under the appropriate department.
