Additional Information
- Certificates are offered for students currently pursuing a Master of Library and Information Science degree, a Master of Science in Information Management degree, or a Master in Business Administration degree, as well as a post-master degree accreditation for returning scholars who want to add the specialization to a completed master’s degree.
- Students who graduate with a Dominican master’s degree lacking one or more courses towards a certificate can enroll in the course(s) any time within five years of graduating in order to add the certificate to their transcript. Students must enroll as a student-at-large (credit-bearing), not as an auditor (non-credit-bearing).
- Students seeking two certificates may use courses that “count” toward more than one to fulfill requirements for both certificates. In other words, if a course is eligible for two certificates the student need only take it once, and may apply its credit toward both.
- Students may also combine this certificate with other coursework toward the Master of Professional Studies .
