Graduate Certificates
Each certificate requires five courses, including an independent study in the topic area. Students interested in a particular certificate program should contact the appropriate certificate coordinator if they have any questions. The independent study topic must be approved by the certificate coordinator. The coordinator may also approve a student's request to replace one of the courses with a thesis option.
