The goal of the certificate is to prepare students for employement opportunities where the effective transfer of learning is critical to an organization’s success in achieving its overall goals and objectives.

Students will be ready to manage, deliver and assess on-site performance-based training, instructional design, and address the needs of human resource managers and other professionals who are increasingly relying on technology to deliver workforce education.

Students seeking a Graduate Certificate will go through the graduate application process as if they were seeking an MPS degree, meeting all admissions requirements as set forth in the degree program. Once admitted, students are considered MPS degree seeking students and will be working towards completing the pre-defined coursework (12 hours) as listed in this catalog. Upon completion of the 12 hours defined in the program, the student will receive a Graduate Certificate in the appropriate field of study. After completion of the 12-hour Graduate Certificate, the student may continue to fulfill the requirements of the MPS degree. Students are required to meet all graduate student requirements that include maintaining their GPA at the 3.0 level.

This is a 12-credit hour certificate.
