Some courses may have prerequisites required for admission; students are advised to check course prerequisites carefully.
Students may take their 1.5 Western/Affiliates courses in no particular order, assuming the proper prerequisites are completed.
There is no additional cost to take or apply for the Certificate above a typical four-year tuition, assuming students can fit all Certificate requirements within their schedule. However, should students need to take extra courses in order to obtain all Certificate requirements, they will be billed accordingly.
