88 Graduate Certificates Graduate certificates are designed for those who want a focused and limited course of study in a specific subject area. They also give students the opportunity to consider further study in a full degree program by being "stackable" and applying toward the master's degree program in that subject area. They are excellent options for continuing education credits as well as personal enrichment. Graduation Requirements 1. Satisfactory completion of the required credit hours for the graduate certificate. 2. Submission and approval of an application for graduation.
