What Classes Should I Take?


Important: All students that want to earn a certificate must apply for that certificate before completing six (6) credit hours in the program.

Once you have been accepted, there are a lot of choices in courses to take, and in what order - we typically offer at least twelve different classes over three certificate programs each semester. Our advisors are here to help you decide what to take and when to take it.

Even with that information, you may be confused about what courses meet your interests as well as certificate requirements. To handle those issues, or to get course advice, contact one of our advisors at 850.644.9961 or info@em.fsu.edu.

Request Your Certificate


In order to request your certificate, you must first have been accepted to the program by submitting a program application before the completion of six credit hours towards the certificate. After you have completed all the course requirements for your level of study (graduate or undergraduate) you should complete this form. Our department will verify the completion of your coursework and mail your certificate to the address indicated. Successful completion of the courses is defined as a grade of C or higher (some courses may have higher grade requirements). Students who receive grades lower than a C in any course must repeat that course if they wish to have it count towards any of our department's certificates.
