Certificate programs provide opportunities to successfully complete a series of five to eight academic credit courses that focus on a particular area of career interest.
Admission Requirements
The College uses two categories for classifying applicants: those who are 19 years old or younger and those who are 20 or older. Based on the College’s modified open admissions system, each category has its own admissions requirements and procedures.
Applicants 20 years of age and older will be admitted to Metro State upon indicating on the Application for Admission that they have graduated from high school or that they have passed and received a Colorado General Educational Development (GED) certificate or the equivalent.
By signing the Application for Admission, degree-seeking applicants are certifying that they will request either a high school transcript with date of graduation or GED test scores be mailed directly to the Office of Admissions.
The ACT or SAT is not required for applicants 20 years of age and older.
