Enrollment requirements

A minimum GPA of 3.00 is required to complete the certificate. The certificate is administered through the Office of Student Success in the Herberger Institute of Design and the Arts and through the Design and Arts Corps, and it is open to all undergraduate students admitted to ASU.

Students enrolled in the BA in the arts program in the institute must complete three additional credit hours of coursework unique to the certificate program that does not also count toward their major; this is due to the overlapping requirements of HDA 210 and HDA 310.

A student pursuing an undergraduate certificate must be enrolled as a degree-seeking student at ASU. Undergraduate certificates are not awarded prior to the award of an undergraduate degree. A student already holding an undergraduate degree may pursue an undergraduate certificate as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.

This certificate program allows students to develop unique pathways that also earn micro-credentials across a broad range of competencies including ethical communication, group facilitation, project structuring and evaluation, project management, ethics and asset-based community cultural development. These competencies prepare graduates for excellence in a range of occupations.
