Graduate Level Certificates
Graduate certificate programs involve prescribed sets of courses and/or projects/internships that are designed to build expertise in a specialized area. The total credit requirements (usually 12 to 18) are substantially fewer than that of a master’s degree. Some students pursue graduate certificates in lieu of making a commitment to an entire degree program. Others use certificates to build specializations with master’s degree programs, to retool after a master’s degree has been earned, or for professional development. Certificate students must apply and be accepted on a non-degree basis. Gannon University offers the following graduate level certificate programs:

Coursework for Professional Development
As a continuing service to the regional professional community, Gannon University offers qualified students the opportunity to pursue professional development via sequences of graduate course work. Students wishing only to build expertise in areas of interest or to gain new knowledge may apply for non-degree status. However, like certificate students, non-degree students must satisfy graduate level entrance requirements.
