How long does it take to complete a certificate?
A Graduate Certificate is designed to be completed in one year. However, you can take longer or go faster, based on your schedule.

What type of paperwork do I receive upon completion of the certificate?
Once you have completed the certificate courses with a 3.0 grade point average, and have requested your credential, you will receive a Certificate from the Continuing Professional Education office and the courses as well as the completion of the certificate will also appear on your official university transcript.

What do I have to do to be awarded the Certificate?
Once you have completed the necessary 4 courses, you must alert the Continuing Professional Education Office at 973-596-3063 so your transcript can be reviewed. You will also need a cumulative G.P.A of 3.0 in order to be awarded the certificate.

Can I transfer credits from another university?
In order for a course to transfer it must fit into the Certificate Program's curriculum. If you wish to transfer graduate courses, you will need to have an official transcript sent to NJIT so it can be evaluated by the Academic Department. While NJIT will not have you retake a course here that you have successfully completed elsewhere, you must take 12 credits from NJIT to receive the certificate. Advisors are available to identify substitutes so you can meet this requirement.
