Note
*Since the Youth Leadership Certificate is a certification in addition to a Bachelor’s degree, internship courses are required above and beyond program requirements for the student’s degree. All other courses may count toward the baccalaureate degree if the student has electives available in their programs. This means that students will need to complete a minimum of 40 courses (120 credit hours) plus six non-credit courses in order to complete both a degree and the certificate.
