Program Overview
The Certificate in Professional Studies is a 13-credit self-designed certificate program to cater to students who prefer a more flexible commitment than the existing 36-credit Liberal Arts MA program.

Students pursue their studies through one foundation course, choice of self-designed courses with faculty, seminars, or Intra-University, and one certificate project. Our individualized approach makes it possible to combine graduate education with professional, personal, and community commitments.
