Certificates Note
Undergraduate certificates are embedded and can only be earned alongside a degree.
Graduate certificates may be offered to non-matriculated students on a stand-alone basis (meaning they are not enrolled in any other degree seeking program). There are limitations posed on non-matriculation credit per the Graduate School (https://gradschool.utah.edu/navigating-grad-school/graduate-policies/credit.php). If your intent is to allow students to pursue the graduate certificate on a stand-alone basis, make this clear in your proposal.
