Advance your career with a master's degree from Elmira College.
Designed for both recent college graduates and working professionals, the graduate programs at Elmira College set the stage for your future. Many courses are offered online or through a hybrid of online and on-campus learning. Graduate degrees at Elmira can be completed in 12-15 months.
If you're not ready to pursue a graduate degree but still want to increase your knowledge and improve your skills, you can earn an advanced certificate or take courses through non-degree study.
Students in the advanced certificate program need to complete only 15 credits with a minimum GPA of 3.0 to receive certification. And if you decide to continue your graduate studies and pursue a master’s degree, the credits may be carried over.
Elmira offers the opportunity to take graduate-level classes without pursuing a degree or certificate. If you decide to earn a graduate degree, the credits earned in non-degree study will apply toward your chosen master’s program.
