| |  | | | 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 program requirements, see Degree Programs and Faculty. |
