Certificates
Some academic units at UT Permian Basin offer certificate programs composed of a defined set of courses. The requirements for each certificate are determined by the faculty of the academic unit offering the certificate, not by the student’s major department.
Certificate programs are open to all UTPB students, regardless of their college or school affiliation. Students pursuing a certificate must meet all standard course prerequisites and must earn a grade of “C” or better in each course applied toward the certificate.
Courses used to fulfill major or minor requirements may also be applied (or “stacked”) toward certificate requirements. Additionally, a single course may be used to satisfy requirements for more than one certificate, where applicable.
Transfer credit is not accepted toward the completion of a UTPB certificate. Students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor when selecting and planning certificate pathways to ensure alignment with their academic and career goals.
