Most students, however, enroll in one course per semester. Financial support is not available through UIC for Certificate Program students. For those with an MBA, the degree must be granted either by UIC or another school accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. In this case, the Test of Written English is not required. It is important that interested potential students carefully read all of the instructions before completing the application materials.
Candidates submit applications as non-degree graduate student status on the application form.
Credit hours accrue to a UIC transcript. While no limit exists for the number of hours that can be accumulated in the nondegree status, most colleges limit the number of hours transferable to a degree program. All applications must be submitted under the curriculum code 9548 for proper routing. Final acceptance to the HI Certificate Program rests with the School of Biomedical and Health Information Sciences, not with Graduate College Admissions. Do not mail admissions materials to the UIC Office of Admissions and Records.
