Graduate Certificates
Welcome!
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ offers that can be completed online, in person or in a hybrid fashion. They are designed to provide you with valuable educational experience in a more accessible, focused format than traditional graduate degree programs.
A graduate certificate is a specialized graduate-level credential reflecting knowledge of the most up-to-date research in a specific field. Once completed, it will be documented on your official USF transcripts and a certificate of completion will be awarded to you.
Graduate certificates generally take 1-2 years to complete and can even be completed in as little as one semester, depending upon course load per semester and course schedule offerings. You may also be able to transfer these credits into one of USF’s graduate degree programs. Contact your program advisor to learn more. Completion of a certificate does not imply admission to a related graduate degree program.
