Graduate Certificates
A graduate certificate is a focused collection of courses that, when completed, affords the student some record of coherent academic accomplishment in a given discipline or set of related disciplines. Students may be awarded these certificates upon completion of a well-defined program of coursework. A graduate certificate program will be comprised of no less than nine (9) and no more than 18 credit hours of coursework in a particular discipline or related disciplines of study. All graduate certificate programs must consist of at least 50% coursework designed for graduate credit and offered at the 700-level or above. In accordance with the Registrar’s regulations on Academic Transcripts, the University officially records and recognizes completion of a graduate certificate by noting the achievement on the transcript.
Graduate students in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese making good progress toward their degree are encouraged to consult with Dr. Isidro J. Rivera, Director of Graduate Studies, concerning the benefits of completing a Graduate Certificate during their graduate program. Students must formally apply to the certificate program no later than the last semester they take a course that will count towards the certificate.
