Program Information & Policies
The 14 hours of coursework required for the Certificate provides general foundation of communication to the public and to academic audiences (course or course and course), while elective courses are available to students with specific interests; for example professionals who work in Spanish-speaking settings might benefit from course; students in industry or in one of New Mexico’s national labs might choose courses such as course International Professional Communication or course Science Writing; and students interested in public policy and public engagement might consider course Science and Technology Policy or course Policy Sciences. The certificate concludes with a capstone project that allows students to work on a project related to their work or partner with a community organization.
We also provide the option for a concentration in Policy Sciences and Communication. Students may select from the electives above and opt to substitute a third policy-related course in place of course.
