Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs

Prepare yourself to meet the on-going changes and transformations that are occurring in society and affecting institutions of higher education. As a university administrator, you will be expected to make your institution a supportive, learning-rich environment for all students ranging from traditional students to adult students.

The Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs will help you learn to develop policies and practices that allow students to stay connected to each other and the institution in the face of technological and societal trends that will increasingly foster disconnectedness.

This certificate is available for students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree and would like to enhance their professional credentials without earning a master’s degree.
