Admission to the Advanced Graduate Certificate

The Advanced Graduate Certificate in Human Origins is a stand-alone semester-long program. Students can apply as a non-matriculated graduate student between receiving their Bachelor’s Degree and entering other graduate programs, or during their Masters or PhD program. The only official requirement for admission to this program is having a GPA of 2.5 or higher in the applicant’s previous Bachelor’s Degree or current graduate coursework. There are no course or experiential requirements, as this program is designed to take students from a broad range of backgrounds, quickly get all of them up to the same high level of foundational knowledge in the core human origins disciplines, and advance from there to mastery.
