Materials Chemistry certificate programs

The MSE Certificate Program introduces students to the world of materials. Admission: Admission to the MSE Certificate Program normally occurs during the sopho year but enrollments remains open into senior year.

Courses that are part of certificate programs include a required assessment. GTPE certificates of program completion consist of a prescribed number of required and elective courses offered and completed at Georgia Tech within a consecutive six-year period. Construction Safety and Health Certificate Program (Atlanta campus courses only). Project Management Certificate Program (Atlanta campus courses only). Safety and Health Management Certificate Program (Atlanta campus courses only). GTPE does not issue transcripts or certificates with Professional Develop Hours (PDH) or Professional Development Units (PDU), but the crosswalk here is provided for reference. Upon successful completion of most GTPE courses (80% minimum attendance and a passing grade in courses that require an assessment), you may receive a certificate indicating the number of CEUs earned. Certificate issuance exceptions include courses with outstanding credentialing entities (i.e. OSHA or PADI).

Fall Term January 7: PhD program June 15: Master’s applicants (international) August 15: Master’s and Certificate applicants (non-international) August 25: Special Student applicants (non-international only). Spring Term October 1: Master’s applicants (international) December 15: Master’s and Certificate applicants (non-international) December 15: Special Student applicants (non-international only). Certificate applicants only need to provide items 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and one letter of recommendation. Please note that because CSSH certificate programs do not meet compliance eligibility requirements for F-1 and J-1 visa classifications, international students are ineligible to complete stand-alone certificate programs. However, certificate programs are available to currently enrolled graduate students, provising the certificate program requirements are completed at the same time.

All Graduate Certificate in Engineering Programs consist of 4 courses 12 credits. All students are expected to complete a preliminary course plan for their intended degree program.

The Graduate Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is designed for working professionals who do not have formal training in MSE, but wish to acquire a basic understanding of materials science. To be admitted to the MSE Graduate Certificate Program, a student must have a B.S. degree in the sciences or engineering from a regionally accredited four-year college or university and have an overall (or major) GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4-point scale. By judicious selection of elective courses, students can customize their certificate program to focus on areas of interest to them.
