Curriculum
Curriculum Requirements
The curriculum comprises 4 required courses and 2 primary electives and one additional elective for a total of 7 classes (14-semester units and 210 hours of instruction). Candidates must pay a nonrefundable certificate registration fee. We recommend that certificate students register for the certificate when they decide to commit to completing it, usually around the time of the second course in the curriculum.
Classes in the certificate start continuously. You may begin the program at any time and progress through the curriculum in the format and at a pace that fits your goals. Most students complete the certificate's curriculum in one to two years. To get you through the certificate in a timeframe that works with your schedule, we offer single courses in the following formats:
- Online, accelerated: eight weeks of study
- Classroom, daytime (weekend) format: four or five weeks of study
- Classroom, evening (weeknight) format: generally 10 weeks of study
All certificate courses, including those online, have fixed start and end dates, with assignments and project work assigned throughout the course. Courses are scheduled so that you can complete all certificate requirements in about one year by taking the shortest duration sections sequentially. Most students complete their certificate coursework in one to two years. All coursework must be completed within five years.
You must take all courses for a letter grade. To receive the certificate, you must maintain an overall minimum 2.5-grade point average (GPA), with a grade of C or better in each course. A Certificate With Distinction will be awarded to those who complete the certificate with a GPA of 4.0 (effective to those who register to begin Oct. 1, 2017).
