Major Exploration

What is a certificate program?


A certificate program is similar to an academic minor in that there are fewer courses that must be completed than for a major. Once the qualifications have been met, the University confers a certificate at graduation and in some cases, records this achievement on the official transcript.

The following are a few of the UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS offered at the U; an asterisk (*)indicates that the certificate is recorded on the transcript:
