Please note: The 3-credit certificate courses will run the first 11 weeks of each semester. The 1-credit certificate courses will run the last 5 weeks of the semester. Each certificate course will have a one-hour, once-a-week online meeting you will be required to attend. When you register for classes, you will need to choose a weekly meeting time for your online meeting. The 3-credit and 1-credit certificate course online meetings will not overlap with one another, so you may choose the same online meeting time for both certificate courses if you wish.
You can view your online meeting options and get the correct course registration numbers (CRN). Please keep in mind the online meeting options are in the Eastern time zone.
For master’s program students: Applied Experience courses and Personalized System of Professional Improvement (BEH 5040) do not have online meetings. Restricted electives will have varied online meetings.
