Certificates

Academic departments may offer undergraduate certificates, defined as a focused collection of at least 12 credits of courses that, when completed, afford the student some record of coherent academic accomplishment in a given discipline or set of related disciplines. Students may be enrolled full time or part time in a certificate program, but must meet the minimum academic requirements established for all undergraduate students. No course with a final grade below a C (2.0) will count toward an undergraduate certificate and students must achieve a GPA of at least 2.0 in all certificate programs. Transfer credits cannot be applied to the completion requirements for certificates. Completion of an undergraduate certificate does not guarantee admission into an undergraduate degree program.
