Advanced Certificates

Advanced Certificates are graduate-level academic SDSU certificates that require matriculation/admission to San Diego State University, much like a degree. This means that these certificate programs require an application to SDSU in order to register for courses.

Professional Certificates

Courses in these certificate programs are open to all, no application required. You can even earn transfer or professional development credit for select programs.
