Admission Requirements

Applicants who are recommended for admission to the certificate program, but who are not current, matriculated University of Utah students, will also need to apply to the University of Utah Admissions Office for non-degree seeking or second bachelor's degree status and pay the application fee.

Applicants who are applying to the graduate certificate program, and who are not current University of Utah students, must provide official copies of transcripts showing completion of a bachelor's degree.

Application Requirements

All University of Utah Students (matriculated) have a year-round rolling admission. Apply at any time!
