The CHANGE certificate is a 12-credit graduate certificate that requires 4 credits of specific courses each semester for three semesters. The CHANGE certificate fulfills the PhD minor requirement.
Because of its unique design and team skills content, CHANGE is a cohort-based graduate certificate. Before signing up for CHANGE, applicants should review their schedule with their advisor to ensure that they can complete the certificate in three sequential semesters (Fall, Spring, Fall). Cohorts always begin in the fall semester. Because this certificate is designed for students to learn and work in teams over all three semesters, exceptions to the cohort requirement will rarely be granted.
