Graduate Certificates
The School of Education’s graduate certificates are short, focused programs of study taught online and/or in classrooms by UMKC School of Education faculty (and University of Missouri - St. Louis faculty). For working professionals, certificate programs may increase earning potential, assist students in developing new skills in preparation for a career change, or provide the opportunity to “get their feet wet” before committing to a longer-term degree program. Upon satisfactory completion; however, each of the courses within the specific certificate programs may be applied to a graduate degree. For existing students, certificate programs allow for further specialization in a particular field of study.
