Some certificates offered by University System of Georgia institutions are a self-contained set of courses associated with or embedded in a degree.
These certificates do not require approval if they are available only to students admitted to and enrolled in a program leading to a degree, and are awarded only when students are awarded the degree.
These certificates are often described as:
An award given for the satisfactory completion of a group of courses embedded in a degree program.
- Example 1: Students choose their degree electives based on the stated course requirements for an embedded certificate.
- Example 2: Students take required courses in a degree program that complete the course requirements for an embedded certificate.
