Graduate Education Certificate Program

A graduate certificate is an academic credential designed for students desiring targeted study in an area of special interest. It is not a licensure program or full degree program. However, certificates are stackable. Students may be able to apply credits completed through a graduate certificate program to a full graduate degree program, including a Master of Education or Education Specialist degree program.
