Graduate and Professional Certificates
A graduate certificate indicates completion of a specific set of credit courses designed to provide participants an opportunity to develop or improve specific job-related knowledge and skills. Credits earned in a graduate certificate can be applied to an appropriate graduate degree program. Graduate certificates are issued by the unit offering the courses rather than the Office of the Registrar. Graduate certificates are noted on the student’s academic transcript.
A professional development certificate indicates completion of a specific set of non-credit courses designed to provide participants an opportunity to develop or improve specific job-related knowledge and skills. Professional development certificates are issued by the unit offering the courses rather than the Office of the Registrar. Professional development certificates are not noted on the student’s academic transcript. Participation in professional development courses may or may not be noted as CEU (continuing education units) on the student’s CEU transcript. Participation in professional development certificates may or may not require admission to the University.
