A certificate is a body of courses that, taken together, provides students with knowledge of a disciplinary or interdisciplinary subfield. Departments can offer certificates to both degree seeking and non-degree seeking students. Non-degree seeking students who wish to acquire a certificate must comply with procedures for admission to Michigan Tech.
Certificate programs require at least 12 and no more than 25 credits, at least one-half of which must be at the 3000 level and higher. Students must earn a grade of C or better in each course that is used to meet certificate requirements. Departments offering certificates may establish GPA requirements up to 2.5.
Students who wish to earn a certificate must indicate their interest to the appropriate department, and complete the proper certificate audit form and certificate program application
at least two terms prior to completion of all certificate requirements.
