Real Degrees for Working Professionals

Distance Graduate Certificates

Begin in a graduate certificate program and start earning college credit toward your master's degree.

You can continue in the master's degree program by earning a B or better in each certificate course, and you won't need to submit GRE/GMAT scores.  If you are applying to a Ph.D. program, you are still required to submit GRE/GMAT scores. Learn more about the certificate to master's program.

Prior to acceptance into the program, you may enroll in up to 6 credit hours as a nondegree-seeking (in some cases, post-baccalaureate) student. Enrollment does not guarantee acceptance. Learn more about nondegree-seeking university student admissions.
