Graduate Certificates
At Marshall University, you can choose from 35 graduate certificates on-campus and online. A certificate program is a short, focused program of study, typically for 12 – 21 credits. These programs are designed to help you enhance your job skills, earn recognition, gain licensure and increase your marketability. You can work toward a graduate certificate in addition to pursuing your master’s degree or you can enroll in a standalone graduate certificate program. You also may be able to apply graduate certificate course credit to a graduate degree.
Financing Graduate Education
Pursuing graduate education is a wise investment in your career and future. Marshall University can assist you with ways to pay for your graduate education.
Your first step will be to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which will enable the our Office of Financial Aid to determine your eligibility for an individual award package. Graduate assistantships are available in teaching, research, clinical practice or faculty support. A graduate assistantship can provide you with valuable work experience related to your graduate studies and reduce the overall cost of your education.
Student Services
Like all Marshall students, graduate students can take advantage of student services that support their educational experience. Contact the Bursar about tuition and fees, and bill payments. Counseling services help you manage stress and test anxieties, and Career Services can help you prepare for the future.
