MSSPCERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
Add a focus to your social policy degree
MSSP students have the option to select from four different certificate programs and incorporate one into their standard course of study. These certificates are entirely optional but offer a focused academic experience if you want to delve deeply into a particular area of policy.
It is expected that all requirements for the certificate be met while the student is completing the MSSP degree. Any exceptions must be approved in advance.
LGBTQ+ CERTIFICATE
