I’m interested in earning the certificate. Must I apply to the program? Yes, you must apply to earn the certificate. You can download an application. Students intending to earn the certificate must maintain an average grade of C or better to continue in the program.

I have credits from another institution that I would like to transfer to this certificate. How do I know if they will transfer?  Students interested in transferring credits are generally allowed to transfer a maximum of six credits.  Transfer of credits is based on an analysis of the content, level, and comparability of the courses taken, the applicability of the courses to the student’s intended major and degree program, the quality of the student’s performance in the courses, and the accreditation of the institution at which the work was completed.  Coursework must not be older than five years, and students must have earned at least a C or better.  Transfer decisions are made by the program director. 

Will the credits from this certificate program transfer to another college or university? Certificate programs are designed to be stand-alone programs. Selected courses, however, may be eligible for transfer. Colleges and universities may recognize these courses for transfer, but these decisions are made independently by the receiving institution.

Can I enroll in just a few courses? I’m not interested in earning the certificate. Yes, you can enroll in courses without applying for the certificate.

I see you also offer a fully online program in Human Resources Management.  Can I combine both online and live courses in Charlottesville to earn my certificate?  Yes.

Is it possible to offer this program in my region? All of the required courses are offered online, allowing you to complete the certificate from anywhere.
