Admission information
|
A certificate offers a shorter course of study than a degree. Certificates can serve as stepping stones to a degree, and as credentials to advance your education and career. A certificate typically requires at least 12 semester credits of coursework. With program faculty approval, no more than 3 credits from other institutions may be transferred into any certificate program. Beginning from the start of coursework to the award of the certificate, requirements must be completed within seven years. Some certificate programs may have stricter requirements. When successfully completed, certificates are listed on a student's transcript. With program faculty approval, credits completed in a certificate program may be transferred into a degree program. Admissions information can be found on the program pages for these certificates: Dual language and immersion education Teaching writing and critical literacy Technology enhanced learning (TEL) |
