The credits earned in a graduate certificate program may satisfy requirements for entry into certain graduate programs.

A graduate certificate (grad cert) is much shorter than a full master's degree. It typically takes between 6 months (full-time) and 2 years (spread out part-time) to get a graduate certificate. For comparison, most master's programs take at least 1.5 years of full-time study.
