Why pursue an Arts and Science certificate?
Certificates offer a way for students to mix and match interests and demonstrate unique combinations of expertise. You can create your own educational journey, gaining the skills employers are looking for and attaining multiple credentials that will set you apart.
Arts and Science certificates can be completed before, during or after a degree, and the courses required can be used toward degree requirements, often as electives. If you plan well, you could graduate with a degree and a certificate without taking any extra classes in your three or four years in the College of Arts and Science!

Admissions requirements
Applying to a certificate as a stand-alone program follows the same admission requirements as our undergraduate degrees. For details, visit our requirements and deadlines page:
International Students
The College of Arts and Science strongly recommends that international students do not enrol in a certificate program alone, as course offerings per term and program length may not be sufficient to maintain eligibility for a study permit, on/off-campus work permit, or post-graduation work permit when taken as a stand-alone program.
If you're interested in pursuing a certificate program, plan to enrol in your certificate of interest only alongside a degree. Learn more by vising the International Student Guide and connect with an academic advisor if you are interested in adding a certificate to your degree program after you become a student!
