SPEARFISH, S.D. (Dec. 13, 2012) – The South Dakota Board of Regents has approved two new certificate programs for the School of Mines, offering students a pathway to develop specialized expertise or seek career advancement.
Beginning in January, certificate programs in Global Engineering (9 credit hours) and Occupational Safety (9 credit hours) will be offered at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
Certificate programs usually require fewer credit hours to complete than a minor. They are developed by packaging a small set of courses that allow students to develop expertise within a focused area of study to address identified market or workforce development needs.
