What is a "certificate program?"

A certificate program is a concentration of classes, offered by an overseas institution, that is similar to a minor at Purdue. Such programs allow study abroad students to take approximately 15 credits in specialized subject areas and to earn official recognition for this (the certificate) from the host university. This would be a nice addition to any resume!

Students interested in completing a certificate program abroad should discuss this with their study abroad advisor and should make this intention clear in their Purdue study abroad application.
