Certificates
Certificate programs require 12 credit hours and are composed
of courses specific to an area of study; all classes leading to
a certificate must be taken for credit; courses cannot be counted
toward more than one certificate; students are designated as “certificate
students” when they declare an intent to complete a certificate
plan and a university application; upon completion of certificate
requirements, the Communication Studies department chair will authorize
the issuance of a printed certificate; certificate programs are
not noted on a student’s official transcript.
