Certificate Programs

At Connecticut College, you can take your academic experience to a higher level by combining your major with a certificate program.

Academic Center Certificates

Four of the College's interdisciplinary centers offer certificates that you can combine with your major.

• The Holleran Center for Community Action and Public Policy
• The Toor Cummings Center for International Studies and the Liberal Arts
• The Goodwin-Niering Center for Conservation Biology and Environmental Studies
  The Ammerman Center for Arts & Technology.

You apply to a Center in the sophomore year. Selected students earn their Center certificate by completing a three-year program of coursework, a summer internship and a senior integrative project, in addition to the requirements for their major.

Museum Studies Certificate

The Museum Studies Certificate Program, open to students from all majors, is designed to introduce students to careers in all types of museums, cultural arts centers, historical sites and houses, science centers, environmental education centers, exhibit design firms, auction houses, planetaria, aquaria, zoos, and botanical gardens.
