Graduate Certificates
Central Methodist University offers a variety of post-baccalaureate certificates. Graduate certificates consist of a series of graduate courses focused on addressing skills and competencies to respond to an emerging need or specific area of interest within the professional community. Students typically apply as "non-degree seeking" with the understanding that their enrollment period is for the duration of the certificate and are not eligible for financial aid. Degree-seeking graduate students are also eligible to earn graduate certificates as a part of their graduate degree program.
