Prospective Students - Graduate

Certificate Programs

In interdisciplinary certification programs, graduate students explore an interdisciplinary area while pursuing a master's or doctoral degree in a specific department. The students take classes outside their department and work with a faculty member affiliated with the program. Some programs also have research requirements. Professional certification programs allow professionals to pursue certification apart from degree completion. After completing the required work, students receive a certificate in the interdisciplinary field.
