Concurrent Certificates
Taking a concurrent certificate is an option available to any student in an undergraduate degree program, and may be completed as part of a student’s elective credit. Some concurrent certificates will require a student to be admitted to this option, while others may involve completion of course credit and declaring certificate completion at the time of graduation. Students should consult the relevant certificate’s guidelines for admission and completion, and/or the department offering the concurrent certificate for additional information.
