| |  | | | Postbaccalaureate Certificates
The Graduate School offers postbaccalaureate certificates (PBCs) that recognize graduate-level training beyond the award of the bachelor's degree. Graduate School certificates may be coupled with a master's or doctoral degree under special circumstances and with the approval of the graduate faculty in the degree-granting field. Refer to the list of Majors and Degrees for the fields in which PBCs are offered through the Graduate School. Graduate School PBCs require a minimum of 12 credits. Regular Graduate School application procedures and admission requirements apply.
As with master's degrees offered via the Graduate
School, PBC students must complete at least 60 percent
of their certificate program coursework as registered University
of Minnesota Graduate School students (See Transfer of
Credits for the Master's Degree for the potential
source[s] of course credits that the Graduate School will
consider for transfer). For information regarding specific
Graduate School requirements for PBCs, including information
on the time limit for completing a certificate, refer to
the Graduate
School Web site; for specific certificate
requirements, see Degree
Programs and Faculty. |
