Each Advanced Certificate application is carefully reviewed by at least two independent evaluators taking into consideration the following criteria:
- Candidate’s quality - career statement, research experience, potential for future funding and publication, publication/presentation background, and quality of research experience.
- Departmental Commitment – Letter from division/department head ensuring protected time and approval for the candidate to attend classes.
- Letters of recommendation must come from professors or other professionals in a position to judge the applicant’s preparation and fitness for graduate work in the proposed program of study.
