It is preferable to have completed some or all of the prerequisite courses before beginning work on the certificate. However, it is possible to complete the prerequisite courses in conjunction with the certificate at the discretion of the certificate director. The prerequisite courses listed are those offered at the University of Kentucky. Equivalent courses taken at other institutions may be substituted with the approval of the certificate director.
An individualized plan for completion of the certificate courses will be developed depending on the needs of the student. It is possible to complete the certificate requirements, including missing prerequisites, in one year. However, students will be allowed up to five years to complete the certificate. Students must score a grade of B or better on each course for successful completion of the certificate requirements.
