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.

• Holleran Center for Community Action and Public Policy
• Toor Cummings Center for International Studies and the Liberal Arts
• Goodwin-Niering Center for the Environment
