EKU Graduate Certificates and Professional Certification/Endorsement Programs
EKU University Level Certificates
These certificates are awarded by the University, and students receive a formal certificate produced in the same manner as a degree diploma. Students completing these programs must apply for graduation and are assessed a graduation fee. Students earning only certificates do not receive caps and gowns and do not participate in the commencement ceremony. The university graduation fee partially offsets the production and mailing of diplomas and certificates. The University absorbs cap and gown costs for degree earners. Application deadlines for completing university certificates follow the same time line as degree graduation.
