An adviser will contact you to schedule a conference once your application is complete and the Admission Committee has made a decision.

Certificate Program
Certificate programs are ideal for students who have already earned a bachelor's degree but feel that they would like to fill in the gaps where that degree ended and their career goals are taking them. 

If you've never earned a degree but would like to benefit from earning a certificate you are welcome to apply. (Credits will count toward a degree if you ever decide to complete one)

Financial aid options for certificate programs include scholarships and employer tuition reimbursement, federal loan programs are usually reserved for degree seeking students.
