1. Students must also meet the requirements of the Georgia Institute of Technology “Guidelines for Undergraduate Certificates”

 

2. Certificates are intended to encourage students to use the elective course requirements in their degree program to form a coherent package of coursework in a specified area. A certificate program must comprise at least 12 semester hours in a coherent program, of which at least 9 semester hours are upper-division coursework (numbered 3000 or above). A multi-disciplinary certificate program will additionally require that courses be taken from more than one academic unit and that at least 3 semester hours be taken outside the student's major field. Cross-listed courses may be counted as being outside the student's major field.

 

3. No more than 6 semester hours of Special Topics courses may be included in a certificate program. No more than 4 semester hours of Special Problems courses may be included in a certificate program.

 

4. Courses required by name and number in a student's major degree program may not be used in satisfying the course requirements for a certificate. However, courses used in a certificate also may be used to fulfill elective requirements (tree electives, technical electives, humanities electives, social sciences electives, etc.) in the student's major degree program.

 

5. A course may not be counted toward more than one certificate and/or minor.

 

6. All courses counting toward the certificate must be completed in residence at Georgia Tech, be taken on a letter-grade basis, and be completed with a grade of C or better.

 

Certificate management advising for the program and awarding of the certificates is to be conducted by the undergraduate offices in both the College of Computing and in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Each unit will be responsible for their own students. Other students may apply to either unit. These units will verify that students have satisfied the requirements for an undergraduate degree and that students have satisfied all certificate requirements.
