Certificates

An academic certificate consists of specific courses with a practical, applied focus intended to enhance one’s professional credentials. Anyone eligible to enroll in PSU classes may earn a certificate. The courses taken to fulfill a certificate provide a learning experience concentrated on expanding skills, competencies, and knowledge in particular subject areas approved by the department or faculty group offering the certificate program. To earn an academic certificate, students must achieve at least a 2.00 grade point average in their certificate. All certificates earned at PSU will be listed on the academic transcript. 

Declaration of an Academic Certificate form is available from the Registrar's Office webpage. Students should declare a certificate as early as possible, and no later than during their final semester of classes. 

Students in these Certificate programs may be eligible for federal financial aid. Students should contact the Financial Aid Team for more information. Please visit: https://www.plymouth.edu/admissions/financial-assistance.
