Admission Requirements

A student who applies for admission to a certificate program must be a working professional, have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, and provide a résumé/curriculum vitae and at least two letters of reference along with the completed application form and fee. Students will receive grades for each course using the same criteria as students in the MS and PhD programs. Students who wish to apply to the master’s or PhD degree program after taking at least three courses toward a certificate or after completing a certificate will be required to present standardized test scores (GRE or GMAT) and a personal statement.
