Graduate Certificates & Degree Program Admission

Acceptance to a Graduate Certificate Program at MU does not constitute admission to a graduate degree program, nor should completion of a graduate certificate program be considered the preferred/typical route of entry into a graduate degree program at MU.

Using Credit from a Certificate

If, after completing a graduate certificate program, a student is admitted to a graduate degree program at MU, no more than 12 hours of graduate credit from the certificate program may be used toward the degree program.

Up to 12 hours of graduate credit earned for graduate certificates may be applied to degree requirements for a graduate degree upon approval of the degree program. Policy updated 11/30/2007
