What is a Graduate Certificate?
A graduate certificate also called an advanced certificate, is a selection of up to five graduate-level courses in a particular area of study. Graduate certificates can serve as a stand-alone credential that provides expertise in a specific topic that enhances your professional knowledge base, or they can serve as the entry point to a master's degree. Some students complete an advanced certificate and apply for those credits hours later toward a master's degree.
