Certificates may be earned by regularly matriculated or extended learning students and denote successful completion of a prescribed program of study designed to a) impart specified  professional/vocational/career competencies; or b) produce mastery of the content of a sub-field of an academic major (discipline); or c) provide exposure to the range of materials in a traditional or emerging interdisciplinary field. Certain certificate programs contain 600-level courses as
requirements and/or electives. These 600-level courses may not be taken by undergraduate students. See Page 60 of the 2010-2011 CSUSB Bulletin [pdf] for additional certificate information.

Note: Entering students with previous training in German, and those who are native speakers, should contact the Department of World Languages and Literatures for information about  advanced placement and credit by examination.
