Can I complete a certificate in addition to the master’s degree?

We offer three certificate options for M.Ed students: Career and Academic Advising, Community College Leadership, and Institutional Research & Assessment. Many students in the MEd program choose to complete at least one of these certificates as a way to document their interest and expertise in a specific area of higher education, and the courses you take for the MEd and our certificates can be double-counted, making them easy to complete without much, if any, additional coursework. More information about the certificate programs is available on our Higher Education Administration program website as well as in the Kent State catalog.
