What is an undergraduate certificate?
The difference between certificate and degree programs typically involves the time
and cost to earn them. They also differ in the number of courses you must take. Degrees
provide you with a well-rounded depth of knowledge while certificate programs focus
on skills related to a specific career field. Like a minor, a certificate program
is noted on your UND official transcript. The difference between an undergraduate
certificate program and a minor is that students may pursue certificate programs without
pursuing a major.
The same undergraduate degree admission requirements apply to undergraduate certificate
programs at UND. Many students choose to pursue undergraduate certificate programs
while concurrently working on a degree. Others are enrolled exclusively in undergraduate
certificate programs.
