Graduate Certificate programs are university-based graduate programs that do not culminate in a degree; however, certain programs may be “rolled over” into master’s degree programs. Students in Graduate Certificate programs are eligible to apply for financial aid at the graduate level. Each Graduate Certificate program is an organized body of coursework that may or may not lead to a recommendation for a North Carolina professional education license. If you complete a Graduate Certificate program that is related to licensure, you may apply for that license through our Office of Teacher Education Advising and Licensure. To receive the Graduate Certificate diploma and be eligible for the commencement ceremony, you may apply through the Graduate School.
