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.
