UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG - UMUC Europe

CERtiFiCAtEs
UMUC Europe offers programs of study leading to University
of Maryland University College lower-level certificates in
specific academic areas including accounting foundations,
computer studies, foreign language area studies (Arabic and
the Middle East, German, Italian, and Spanish), management,
mathematics, and women’s studies. When certificate
requirements change, students already in progress toward a
certificate must complete the requirements within two years
or convert to the new requirements. All requirements involve
lower-level courses, although appropriate upper-level courses
may be substituted.
Students may not use the same course toward completion of
more than one certificate. In cases where the same course is
required for two certificates, the student must replace that
course with an approved substitute for the second certificate.
These certificate programs are not terminal programs for
students who wish to continue working toward associate’s
or bachelor’s degrees. Certificates have three common
requirements as highlighted in the following box.
