CERTIFICATE PROGRAM Requirements
A certificate requires the successful completion of 15 graduate credits of defined coursework in a single content or issue area within either public administration or urban affairs. Upon completion of the coursework a certificate will be issued. Admission
To participate in the certificate program an applicant first must satisfy the requirements for entrance into the Graduate School, or have a bachelor’s degree and the equivalent of five years experience in a professional, administrative, or leadership position. Only applicants for admission as a non-degree graduate student within the department or students who are fully admitted to other graduate programs of the University and meet the experiential requirements are eligible for the certificates. Students admitted to the graduate programs of the department are not eligible for the certificate programs. Should a student wish to pursue additional coursework, the student must seek formal admission to either the MA in Urban Studies or MPA program. Participation in the certificate program in no way promotes or assures admission to graduate programs of the department, nor does it alter the requirements for admission to those degree programs. Subject to the Graduate School’s time limitation rule for degree completion, once a student has been admitted to a degree program, courses taken as part of a certificate program may be transferred into either of the department’s master’s programs. Program
There are six variations of the Certificate Program in Public Administration and Urban Studies; a certificate in Public Management, a certificate in Non-profit Management, a certificate in Local and Regional Development Administration, a certificate in Policy Analysis, a certificate in Program Evaluation, and a certificate in Urban Affairs. Each certificate requires the successful completion of 15 credit hours of required and elective coursework offered by the Department of Public Administration and Urban Studies, as specified below.
