Graduate Certificate Courses

Courses taken as part of a graduate certificate (P.B.C. in-progress or completed) can be used toward a master’s degree, a terminal/doctoral degree, or certificate of advanced study if approved by the program director. Courses must have been taken at Towson University or at a regionally accredited college or university**, must have been completed with a grade of B or higher, and be taken within the program's time limit (7 or 10 years depending on program). 

Courses taken as part of a master's or doctoral degree or a graduate certificate which already has been conferred by Towson University or another regionally accredited college or university**, cannot be applied to the new or an in-progress post-baccalaureate certificate program.
