KU Certificates

What is a certificate and why should I get one?

KU offers a wide variety of Experiential Learning Programs and Certificates that offer fantastic opportunities for undergraduate students. Whether you're looking to build your resume, gain hands-on experience, or take your education beyond the classroom, KU has you covered. All completed certificates will be notated on your academic transcript.

There are two main types of certificates here at KU:

• The experiential learning certificates, where you combine classwork with hands-on experience.
• The academic certificates, where you can take approximately 4 classes to further your understanding of a particular subject.

For complete information about the College's policy on certificates offered in the College, please visit the KU Catalog here.

If you are earning a BGS degree, you have the option to earn two certificates as your second area of study. To add a College certificate, please email your advisor or collegeundergrad@ku.edu.
