Degree-Seeking Certificate Students
If you are already enrolled in a graduate degree program, you do not have to apply to any of the corresponding certificates. Simply submit a Graduate Certificate Declaration Form at no additional cost. Apply for a certificate only when you are not pursuing a degree and interested in a certificate for transfer, career advancement or personal enrichment. You might also wish to apply for a certificate if you are interested in an area that is outside of your graduate degree program.
Planning for the Future Graduate Degree
If you decide to pursue a UW-Green Bay graduate degree, you must submit an application and be admitted. Certificates in your corresponding degree are stackable, which means they can be used to fulfill degree requirements. You'll be even closer to achieving a master's degree when you start.
