Graduate Certificate in Strategic Planning

In Fall 2016, the Gaylord College introduced two new graduate certificates: a Graduate Certificate in Media Management and a Graduate Certificate in Strategic Planning. Any current OU student, or any non-student who has completed a bachelor’s degree, can apply to be admitted to complete either one or both of the certificates. Graduate certificates are not degree programs; rather, they are separate graduate education credentials. Certificates are the sets of courses that provide specific knowledge in the particular area. You do not have to commit to the 2-year Master’s program of study: With the graduate certificate, you simply apply to get accepted to the certificate program, complete a certain number of courses (on your time schedule, no time limit exists), and receive the certificate upon completion.
