Students should understand that it is University Policy that a maximum of 15 credits may be shared between a certificate program and a non-related graduate degree program, subject to approval of the graduate degree program as well as the Graduate School. Moreover, all credits from a certificate program may be shared with a relevant graduate degree program where the entire content of the certificate program can satisfy some of the requirements of the graduate degree program. Students should consult the degree program department in advance to determine which of the certificate program credits are appropriate for sharing.
