UMUC Certificates
UMUC-Europe offers programs of study leading to University of Maryland University College lower-level certificates in specific academic
areas including Accounting, Computer Studies, Management Studies, Mathematics, Women’s Studies, and Foreign Language Area
Studies (German, Italian, and Spanish). When Certificate requirements change, students already in progress toward a certificate must
complete the requirements for the certificate within two years or convert to the new requirements. All requirements involve lower-level
courses, although appropriate upper-level courses may be substituted.
These certificate programs are not terminal programs for students who wish to continue working toward associate or bachelor’s degrees.
Certificates have two common requirements as highlighted in the following box.
