Division of Continuing and
International Education (DCIE) - Undergraduate
Not everyone needs or wants a complete degree program. Recognizing
this, the DCIE - in cooperation with several other colleges
and schools of the University - offers special Credit Certificate
Programs.
Focusing on a single subject, these certificate programs
allow students to concentrate on courses that offer the specific
knowledge and skills needed for career advancement. All courses
are taught by University of Miami faculty at the undergraduate
level and are taken for academic credit.
Each certificate program varies in the number of required
credits. While required courses are noted, students may work
with an advisor in developing an individually-designed program.
Credit certificate programs are currently available in the
following subject areas:
Certificate in Accounting
The Undergraduate Certificate in Accounting is awarded by
the Division of Continuing and International Education and
the Department of Accounting. It is designed for those who
hold at least an undergraduate degree (preferably in business)
from an accredited college or university, and whose present
interest or occupation is accounting. The program requires
students to take the same 24 semester hours of accounting
courses required for the undergraduate major in Accounting.
To sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination
in Florida, students must have completed 120 semester hours,
including 24 semester hours of accounting (above the elementary
level) and 24 semester hours of business courses, including
a minimum of six hours of business law. There are additional
educational requirements to become licensed as a Certified
Public Accountant in Florida. Students may wish to consider
either the Graduate Certificate in Accounting or the Graduate
Certificate in Taxation (offered by the School of Business)
to meet those additional education requirements.
Certificate in Computer Information Systems
The Certificate in Computer Information Systems program is
designed to provide a broad background in business computer
information systems and to develop the technical skills one
needs to stay competitive in this challenging field. The program
will be of particular benefit to programmers and to management
information systems analysts. The certificate is awarded by
the DCIE and the Department of Computer Information Systems
upon the successful completion of 18 credits.
