Credit for Certificate Completion
A maximum of 6 credits may be awarded in a Stevenson University online master’s degree program or post-baccalaureate certificate program for the completion of an approved certificate from a professional organization. Official documentation of successful completion of the certificate must be submitted and additional documentation including, but not limited to, a syllabus, curriculum or other documentation of the content of the certificate may be requested. Credit for a completed certificate is awarded at the discretion and with the approval of the appropriate academic program administrator and school dean. All approved certificates must be sufficiently equivalent to courses offered at Stevenson University. Credits awarded for an approved certificate are applied to the 15 credit maximum for all prior coursework that can be awarded in an online master’s degree program or the 6 credit maximum that can be awarded in an online post-baccalaureate certificate program.
Upon matriculation, graduate students may not complete certificates elsewhere and transfer them into Stevenson University online graduate or post-baccalaureate certificate programs.
