Note:


For current USC graduate students, courses credited to graduate certificate programs may be completed in conjunction with course work required for a graduate degree program in which the student is already enrolled. Applicability of courses to the student’s primary degree program is determined by the student’s home department. For USC alumni, courses applied to the individual’s previously completed degree may not be credited toward a certificate.

Successful completion of a graduate certificate program is acknowledged by a certificate awarded by the university.
