The university
offers a variety of programs leading to a certificate of competency in
special areas. Certificates may be earned by regularly matriculated
or extended learning students and denote successful completion of a
prescribed program of study designed to (a) impart specified
professional/vocational/career competencies, or (b) provide mastery of the
content of a sub-field of an academic major (discipline), or (c) provide
exposure to the range of materials in a traditional or emerging
interdisciplinary field.
Courses offered for
the certificate may be the same ones used to satisfy major, minor,
credential or general education requirements. In order to qualify
for a certificate, undergraduate candidates must earn a grade point
average of 2.0. Postbaccalaureate candidates must earn a grade point
average of 2.5. Standards for individual programs may exceed this
minimum. Candidates must also receive two-thirds of their
certificate-applicable credit from the university. The transferring
of credit or the substitution of courses may occur only after application
to the appropriate campus authority.
The certificate is awarded upon confirmation that
the requirements for that program have been satisfied. The candidate
is responsible for filing an application with the Office of Records,
Registration and Evaluations for granting of the certificate, no later
than the last term of certificate-applicable study, and for notifying
the coordinator of the certificate program of completion of required
course work. The awarding of a certificate will be noted on the
student's transcript.
