　　Undergraduate certificates are ideal for students who wish to pursue an additional credential over the course of their degree program in a different discipline, or for students who wish to attend part-time to work towards a credential. These certificates are only available on a part-time basis and are intended to compliment a student?s other credentials.

　　Certificate programs require 30 credits from the certificate discipline. Students are required to achieve a minimum overall average of 60 percent to be awarded the certificate.
