Most of our graduate certificates are 12 hours in accordance with
the minimum allowed by the BoR definition:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.laregents.edu/academicaffairs-policiesandprocedures/">https://www.laregents.edu/academicaffairs-policiesandprocedures/</a>. We
do not allow any undergraduate credits to be applied to a GC or a
graduate degree.<br>

provide a shortened, condensed and focused course of study that
supplements an existing Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral degree.
They frequently lead to licensure or certification, provide needed
job-related expertise, or are focused on a timely area of
discussion in a discipline, and they usually are offered by or
through the Graduate School.</p>

We allow graduate credits to be counted towards the UNDERGRAD degree
through the "Accelerated Bachelors Masters" program (Mary
Farmer-Kaiser helped formulate the applicable language for the UL
System Policies). Here is our Catalog statement on that:<br>

undergraduate students in the Concurrent Enrollment Program may,
subject to the approval of the undergraduate degree program
administrators, use up to 12 credit hours of graduate courses to
satisfy requirements in their undergraduate curriculum. The
maximum number of hours that can be double counted in this fashion
is subject to the requirement that the combined Baccalaureate and
Master’s curricula will total a minimum of 144 credit hours.</p>
------------------<br>
I understand that the total of 144 credit hours for a Bachelors +
Masters is a SACS-COC requirement.<br>

<div>Hello all,<br>

<div>I'm having trouble finding information about undergraduate
courses for a graduate certificate andI was hoping that the
group might know the answer or point me in the right
direction. We are working on a history dual enrollment
graduate teaching certificate (18 hrs) at Nicholls and I'm
looking for any requirements for the maximum amount of
undergraduate course hours that can be applied to a graduate
certificate. I know for a master's degree a minimum of half
of the courses must be graduate courses but does the same
apply to graduate certificates? Any information would be
greatly appreciated, thanks.</div>
