UMUC Certificates
UMUC Europe offers programs of study leading to University of Maryland University College lower-level certificates in specific academic areas including accounting foundations, computer studies, foreign language area studies (Arabic and the Middle East, German, Italian, and Spanish), management, mathematics, and women's studies. When certificate requirements change, students already in progress toward a certificate must complete the requirements within two years or convert to the new requirements. All requirements involve lower-level courses, although appropriate upper-level courses may be substituted.
Students may not use the same course toward completion of more than one certificate. In cases where the same course is required for two certificates, the student must replace that course with an approved substitute for the second certificate.
These certificate programs are not terminal programs for students who wish to continue working toward associate's or bachelor's degrees. Certificates have three common requirements as highlighted below.
Common Certificate Requirements
