SPP offers certificate programs in conjunction with its master’s programs. All certificates require the completion of at least 15 credits (five courses) of work, including a required core course and electives approved in consultation with a faculty advisor. Students already pursuing a master’s degree in the School of Public Policy may, after admission to a certificate program, earn an additional 9 credits (three courses) in SPP to receive a certificate in addition to the master’s degree.

Participants must be admitted to a certificate program. Admission requirements are the same as those for the master’s programs.

Students admitted to an SPP program will be terminated from SPP upon receiving one grade of F and are no longer eligible to take courses in SPP. Per university regulation students are dismissed from the university after accumulating grades of F in two courses or 9 credits of unsatisfactory grades in graduate courses.

The graduate certificate may be pursued on a part-time or full-time basis.
