Georgia Institute of Technology offers three types of Certificates:
Undergraduate embedded certificates are intended to encourage students to use the elective course requirements in their degree program to form a coherent package of coursework in a specified area.
Undergraduate embedded certificates will be granted only to students who, in addition to the undergraduate embedded certificate program requirements, have satisfied requirements for an undergraduate degree. The offering unit is responsible for verifying satisfaction of all undergraduate embedded certificate requirements, as well as completion of an undergraduate degree. Undergraduate embedded certificates are not recorded on the student’s transcript or diploma. Arrangements must be made for awarding undergraduate embedded certificates within colleges or offering units. Undergraduate embedded certificates will not be awarded at the Institute level.

Graduate Embedded Certificate Guidelines
Stand-alone certificates may be completed independent of students being enrolled as Master’s or Doctoral student. These certificates represent a cohesive program of study of a smaller size than a Master’s program and provide more flexibility to professionals for pursing graduate education, including a means for professionals to renew and retrain due to a fast-changing work force. When completed, these certificates appear on the student’s academic record (transcript), and the student receives a certificate of completion.
