Certificate in Health Communication

The University of Michigan-Flint offers certificates that can be earned either alongside a degree program or as stand-alone credentials. However, students pursuing a stand-alone certificate are not eligible for federal financial aid and do not participate in Commencement. Upon applying for graduation, students receive an official diploma recognizing their certificate, and the achievement is recorded on their official transcript.

To earn a degree, students must complete at least 120 credits, though the exact number varies based on the chosen degree and concentration program. They must fulfill the General Education Program requirements, along with any additional degree and concentration-specific requirements. A minimum number of upper-division credits (300-level or above) is also necessary, with variations across academic units and programs, so students should refer to the specific requirements of their college or school—including the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education, the College of Health Sciences, the School of Nursing, the School of Management, or the College of Innovation and Technology—as well as their intended concentration program. Additionally, students must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.0, though some programs require a higher GPA for completion
