Stackable Certificates
Our graduate certificates are stackable. Stackable credentials allow you to build your skills and career on your own schedule, over time, whether you choose to earn the master’s degree or focus on developing skills in a specific area of concentration. If you choose to continue in the degree related to your certificate, these courses may also be used to complete the master's degree at no additional cost. This means you can pay one low price for courses that count for both the certificate and the master's degree.
Special Considerations
McNair Scholars
We will pay the graduate school application fee for McNair Scholars. To receive this benefit, request an application fee payment form from your undergraduate McNair Scholars contact or download a fee waiver form.
If you are a McNair Scholar, when completing the Universities of Wisconsin application, simply skip the application fee payment section. Completed fee forms should be emailed directly to UW-Green Bay's Office of Graduate Studies or mailed to 2420 Nicolet Drive, Green Bay, WI 54311. Once we receive your form, your application will be updated in our system to confirm the payment requirement has been completed.
International Students
If you're an international student, additional documentation is required for admission, like a test of English proficiency. Study abroad transcripts are not required if a student attended an international university for one or fewer semesters.
Certificate Students
If you are already enrolled in a graduate degree program, you do not have to apply for any of the corresponding certificates. Simply submit a declaration form in SIS. Apply for a certificate as a Graduate Special Student only when you are not pursuing a degree.
If You're On the Fence
"For anyone on the fence about continuing their education, or about online education, definitely go for it. If you have questions, reach out to the admissions team. They were super helpful to me and answered all my questions about the program and the application process."
