Certificate Credit Courses
Example: Criminology 3301 - Special Topics (Victims)
A number of the university's certificate programs include certificate credit courses as part of their requirements.
Certificate credit courses are specifically developed for areas of study, e.g., Criminology, for which no degree credit equivalency exists. As such, certificate credit courses are applicable only to the certificate program for which they have been developed. They are not applicable towards any other existing degree, diploma or certificate program.
