Several departments/programs offer graduate certificates. These are open to students already enrolled in a Vanderbilt University post-baccalaureate degree program. Each certificate requires at least 12 credit/semester hours of interrelated graduate-level coursework supporting a specified theme. No more than 50% of coursework may be transferred for a graduate certificate program.
The courses form an intellectually cohesive whole. The certificate programs that are currently approved are listed below by school. If interested in one of these certificate programs, a student should contact the director of the program to be sure that the appropriate requirements have been met, and if so, then submit an Intent to Enroll in the certificate program to the Graduate School. After coursework is completed, submit the Graduation Checklist for Graduate Certificate Program to the Graduate School.
