Certificate and Certification Preparation Programs

Enhance Your Career Skills With Specialized Training

UT Tyler offers several post-baccalaureate certificate programs. These programs are not part of a degree; however, coursework may be counted toward a degree with the approval of the college in which they are housed. We also offer a number of initial certifications for educators.

Certificate programs are narrower in their focus than degrees and provide preparation in a specific field. The certificate is not the equivalent of a license or certification required for practice in the professions or to teach.

Certificate/certificate preparation programs are not eligible for financial aid.

Post-Baccalaureate Certificates

Completion of a certificate program is noted on transcripts. No diplomas are awarded by the University. Admission and complete requirements for certificates are described in the catalog.
