Connecting Careers with Education

Certificate Programs provide opportunities to successfully complete a series of five to eight academic credit classes that focus on a particular area or career interest. Each certificate program is designed to stand alone or merge with your degree program major or minor. The certificate title and date of award
will appear on your MSCD transcript.

Why enroll in a certificate program?

  • Prepare for a new job or promotion

  • Apply and be accepted to MSCD
  • Talk with the contact person designated for the Certificate Program you plan to pursue
  • Ask about prerequisites or additional requirements, taking courses in sequence, and course rotation
