Graduate Catalog 2024-2025

Certificate

A person who holds a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and meets all requirements for entry into a certificate program may be admitted to graduate study as a non-degree certificate student. Should the student later decide to apply to a degree, post-master's certificate, certification, or endorsement program, no more than 12 semester hours of credit earned while in this category may be applied toward a graduate degree program and then only if approved by the coordinator of the degree program in which the student is seeking admission. See additional limitations under the Conditional and Provisional categories.

Admission under non-degree certificate classification does not guarantee admission into a degree, post-master's certificate, certification, or endorsement program.
