  • Students on or facing academic or disciplinary action.

  • International students who do not already have a valid visa to study in the United States (Carnegie Mellon, unfortunately, is not able to issue student immigration documents to certificate students).
  • Prospective graduate applicants for the current or upcoming academic year should consult with their intended graduate program before applying to a certificate program.

Academics / Student Experience

Yes, students earn 20 units of graduate-level credit per certificate upon completion.
Due to the specific curriculum design for our online and residential degree formats, it is not possible to switch from MIIPS Online Degree to residential or vice versa.
Certificates may be taken in any order except the final capstone course.

Each certificate is comprised of two courses. You can complete Course 1 and 2 simultaneously or sequentially. If taken sequentially, Course 1 of a certificate must be taken before Course 2.

Students typically complete a single certificate in one academic term, which requires 20 hours of work per week. Certificates can be extended to two academic terms by taking half of the certificate or one course per term which requires 10 hours of work per week.

Students typically complete the full online MIIPS master’s degree in a part-time capacity which requires approximately 20 hours per week over five terms. However students can also complete the program at an accelerated full-time pace which requires approximately 40 hours per week over three terms or at an extended pace which requires approximately 10 hours per week over nine terms.

Upon completing a certificate, you will have access to iii department alum resources, including virtual events and our private LinkedIn Group. Please note that completion of a certificate(s) does not confer alumni status with the university. You will, of course, always be a welcomed member of the iii community!

Each course meets synchronously for live online classes every other week for 90 minutes. Outside of scheduled class sessions, there might be the need for synchronous team meetings or projects throughout the week. Other work for the courses can be completed asynchronously on your own time.
iii Online Certificates incorporate a balanced combination of live online and remote work. Remote work  will have deadlines but can be completed at your own pace. Live online work will include live zoom class to be held once every other week in the evening 8-9:30 pm Eastern time.
Certificates of completion are electronic and provided by a third party vendor.
