Typical Schedule

Degree-Seeking Students

It is anticipated that degree-seeking students will take at a minimum one course each semester toward the certificate, since certificate credits can be counted toward a degree. It is expected that students will take additional courses each semester so that the certificate is completed within 3-4 semesters.

Non-degree Seeking Students

It is also anticipated that the majority of non-degree seeking students will be online students who will take one course each semester toward the certificate, hence it is expected that these students will complete the certificate in five semesters. The core and primary focus courses are offered on the following schedule. Elective courses are regularly taught on campus and will be placed online based on demand. Two elective courses must be completed in addition to the Core and Primary Focus courses.
