The University of La Verne offers students the opportunity to earn Professional Development Certificates, recognizing educators' accomplishments and supporting their professional growth. To earn a certificate, students must complete 15 credits in a specific subject with a grade of B+ or higher. Upon completion, students will receive graduate-level, non-degree semester credits and an official signed certificate from the university. Students can choose to complete all 15 credits at once or take individual courses over time. There is no deadline for earning the certificate, and students can check the status of their certificates on their My Courses page. Certificates are mailed to the address on file in the month following course completion.
