• Transferring Credits to the M.S.

This certificate provides a gateway for you to participate in the outstanding education that the University of Minnesota offers. While you are participating in this certificate program, you will receive academic advising from graduate faculty in the Department of Writing Studies. Through this advising, faculty work to identify and prepare students who show an interest in and promise for the full M.S. in Scientific and Technical Communication (S&TC) program. For highly motivated and well prepared students, the certificate program provides an avenue for entry into the M.S. in S&TC program. These students will be able to transfer up to 15 credits from the certificate program in to the M.S. in S&TC program, if accepted into that program.

The admission requirements are different for the M.S. See the M.S. Admission page for details.
