What is an Advanced Certificate?

An advanced certificate, also called a graduate certificate, is a selection of up to five graduate-level courses in a particular area of study. It can serve as a stand-alone credential that provides expertise in a specific topic that enhances your professional knowledge base, or it can serve as the entry point to a master's degree. Many students complete an advanced certificate and apply those credit hours toward a master's degree.
