Engineering and Technology Management, Graduate Certificate
Get certified in Engineering and Technology Management
Overview
A graduate certificate is an academic credential earned after completing a short program
of focused study. Graduate certificate programs can serve both as a stepping stone
to more advanced study leading to a master’s or doctoral degree or as a standalone
educational professional achievement to assist an individual in their career. Graduate
certificates are listed on OSU transcripts.
The certificate in ETM, consisting of 12 hours of selected ETM courses, can be granted
at any time during a student’s pursuit of the M.S. degree or as a stand-alone effort.
A second application for the certificate must be made through the graduate college.
Admissions requirements for the Certificate program are identical to those of M.S.
program.
