Certificate of Graduate Study

In addition to offering a graduate degree program in industrial management, the Department of Technology offers certificates for students interested in pursuing short-term study in a technical field. The credit earned for a certificate may be applied toward the M.S. degree in industrial management, with the advice and approval of the student’s adviser. All requirements for a certificate of graduate study must be completed within a period of six consecutive years.

This certificate is designed to meet the traffic-safety-education needs of safety professionals working in educational- and industrial/occupational-safety settings.
