The College of Liberal Arts offers several certificate programs, which are open to all degree-seeking University undergraduates. Undergraduates who complete certificate requirements in conjunction with their degree requirements or within one year after earning the degree receive recognition on the University transcript; students in integrated undergraduate/graduate programs must complete certificate requirements within one year after they complete their undergraduate degree requirements. A maximum of nine semester hours of certificate coursework may be taken after the student has earned the undergraduate degree. At least half of the required certificate coursework must be completed in residence at the University; some programs may require more work in residence.
Students may not earn a certificate in the same field as their major, and may not count the certificate towards their minor requirement if more than six hours of the certificate's coursework may also be counted toward the requirements of the major. A certificate counted in place of a minor must meet the minimum requirements for a minor. However, certificate courses outside the major may be counted toward other degree requirements. For certificates not counting toward the minor requirement, at least one certificate course must be outside the requirements of the major.
Students should apply for the certificate when they apply for graduation or when they complete the certificate program, whichever is later. Transcript recognition is awarded at the end of that semester or summer session.
Students outside the College of Liberal Arts should contact their dean’s office for permission to complete a certificate program and for the applicability of certificate requirements toward their individual degrees. Students in the College of Liberal Arts may complete certificate programs offered through other colleges. These are described in Transcript-Recognized Certificate Programs and by each college that offers a transcript-recognized certificate program. Certificate programs that do not lead to transcript recognition are also described in the respective college's catalog section.
The African Studies Certificate allows students to engage with scholarship on African peoples, cultures, and history through the theoretical lens of black studies. Through the certificate, undergraduates develop interdisciplinary expertise in African studies related to the student’s personal field of interest. The African and African Diaspora Studies undergraduate advisor (AADS) is available to steer certificate candidates towards areas of interest, which can include: expressive cultures, gender and sexuality studies, literature, language, history, politics, and society as these topics relate to theories of blackness on the African continent.
The certificate program requires 18 semester hours of coursework, including at least nine semester hours completed in residence.
Courses the student has completed at the time of application to the program may be counted toward the certificate. Students may not earn a certificate in the same field of study as their major and at least one course counting toward this certificate must be taken outside of the requirements of the student’s undergraduate degree. Students apply for transcript-recognized undergraduate academic certificates at the time they complete their undergraduate degree or the certificate program, whichever comes later. Transcript recognition is awarded at that time.
Students must fulfill the following requirements:

Hi everyone,
I've been interested in the Creative Writing certification for a while, and was wondering a few things:
How long does it typically take to complete the program? (in terms of consecutive semesters, assuming 1-2 classes per sem)
How difficult are the classes in terms of getting good grades?
How time-consuming/rigorous are the classes in general?
What are the different tracks like (fiction, screenwriting, etc)?
How fun or rewarding is the program overall?
For context, I'm an ECE major so I think I'll have a lot on my plate in terms of courseload (but I love writing and still want the certification). I also am looking for a way to meet non-engineering majors and make a diverse group of friends, so I was wondering if the CW classes are collaborative and popular, or more individualized/small-scale. Any information or advice would be appreciated!

The certificate is like an 15-18hr track. Classes are really easy. I'm nearly done with the fiction certificate. So far you write 2 short stories and workshop them, and read other authors short stories and discuss. Work load is pretty light and grading it not hard, but of course depends on the professor.
