Graduate Certificate Programs

A Graduate Certificate program provides specific professional education in an area of study. A graduate certificate program may be gained as a stand-alone credential, in conjunction with or after a graduate degree is earned, or prior to and towards a master’s degree, depending on the program. Successful completion of a certificate is notated on one’s academic transcript. UNCP now offers two graduate certificate programs:
