Concurrent Credentials

Graduate Council has just passed a policy that will allow MS·PTC students to earn the additional credential of Certificate in the Practice of Communications or User-Centered Design certificate at the same time they earn the Master of Science degree.

Students must seek the approval of the program advisor, complete the required certificate program admission application, and certificate program completion application. The website for information and forms is cpe.njit.edu.

Congratulations
