Admissions criteria specific to the program for all students includes demonstrated interest in the interdisciplinary field of LGBTQ Studies and a clear articulation of how this certificate program will complement the student’s master’s or doctoral work in their home department or for those students applying for admissions directly to the advanced certificate program complement or augment their current professional or social advocacy work.
Students wishing to enroll in the certificate program will complete an online application form, a brief summary statement of their interest, and schedule a meeting with the program Coordinator. The Coordinator will determine, on an individual basis, whether the applicant is capable of completing the course of study given the instructional and other support the CUNY Graduate Center provides.
For matriculated master’s and doctoral students that completed applicable coursework prior to applying, these courses may be applied towards completing the certificate program.
For those students applying for admission directly to the advanced certificate program, additional requirements beyond the general program admissions will be: Proof of undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university; international applicants that submit a non-English transcript must provide a certified English transcript to accompany it; GPA of 3.0 or higher in undergraduate coursework; Copy of resume or curriculum vitae; a brief 5-page writing sample focusing on LGBTQ issues or concerns as well as one professional reference; the names and contact information for three references.
