A graduate certificate is not a degree, but an official University recognition that a student completed a specific set of graduate courses designated by a school or department. These certificates are not the same as a teacher certification.

A graduate student-at-large is someone who has completed a bachelor’s degree and takes additional courses without admission to a degree or certificate program. The Graduate School does not recommend student-at-large status for those who plan to seek a graduate degree in the future. Students-at-large are not eligible for financial aid or visa sponsorship and if you are admitted into a program later, the courses you have taken are not guaranteed to count toward your degree.
