Certificates

Customize your degree and build skills in a specialized area.

Concurrent certificates

Concurrent certificates are completed alongside your degree requirements and require enrolment in a graduate or undergraduate program.

From Animal Behaviour to Web and Mobile Development, ±«Óătv has dozens of certificates that you can study alongside your degree. When you graduate, the certificate will be noted on your transcript and parchment in recognition of focused study, knowledge, and skills.

Some certificates are only available to students in particular programs, so make sure that you review the eligibility requirements.
