Achieving professional certification, such as in education and clinical areas, is commonly a course of study separate from
the completion of a graduate degree. Students who earn a graduate degree may not in fact be certified to teach or practice
in a given area. Consequently, it is the student's responsibility to consult with the certifying agency and the appropriate
program director on campus concerning requirements for a particular certificate, including course requirements, teaching,
or administrative experience, and successful completion of the state-prescribed examination. The Graduate College bears no
responsibility for an individual's completion of teaching certification.
