Postgrad certificates

OCAD University offers its alumni the opportunity to return to the University to complete postgraduate certificate programs.

Adding a certificate in a secondary field of study provides graduates with multidisciplinary breadth in addition to the disciplinary depth gained in their undergraduate studies. Students considering graduate school will also find a postgraduate certificate a valuable asset.

Postgraduate certificate programs require completion of 3.0 to 5.0 full credits as outlined in the postgraduate certificate program guides.
