B. Implementation:
The admission requirement is the same as regular degree seeking graduate students. That is, a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale or a 2.75 GPA on the last 60 hours of graded academic course work is required.
If you are a new student pursuing only the certificate program, you shall use the standard admission application for graduate study to apply for the certificate program. In the area of study, please indicate the name of the certificate you are applying for. Then, you need to contact the graduate coordinator to schedule an admission meeting.
If you have been already admitted to the Master of Science in Technology degree program, you need to use “Change of Status” form to add the certificate program to your graduate studies. The form is available at the web site for the Graduate School, and should be forwarded to the Graduate School
.
On your last semester, you will follow the same graduation procedure as any graduate degree. In other words, you will need to apply for graduation at the beginning of each semester according to deadlines by the Graduate School.
You will also need to inform the graduate coordinator about your plan to graduate with the certificate. Please email your final study plan to the graduate coordinator at the beginning of your graduating semester. study plan lists all the courses to be applied to the certificate program, including department prefix, course number, title, semester, grade and instructor. Please indicate your social security number and full names in your study plan.
If you graduate with a Master of Science in Technology degree with the certificate, you will need one graduation application for each program.
