Undergraduate Standalone Certificates

There is a need to offer standalone undergraduate certificates utilizing the existing infrastructure at OSU. Students who are not ready to pursue a full four year degree undergraduate  program be able to apply for the certificate alone. Students seeking an undergraduate certificate (without pursuing a degree), may not be eligible for financial aid. Current ARs and other policies were updated to allow students to pursue standalone certificates. This project will have a second phase that will focus on assessing the first phase. Also, the second phase will determine if there is a need to add more certificate programs vs. keeping the certificate offerings small.
