Embedded Graduate Certificate in Semiconductor Devices

General Information

Open to all OSU students admitted to the university as part of a Master’s or Ph.D. program. Must have graduate GPA 3.0 or higher.

Up to six credit hours of certificate may also be counted toward graduate degree. Check with your home department for local rules. Note: We are applying to relax the overlap between the certificate and the graduate degree to 100% of course credits. This is expected to be retroactive.

Up to six credit hours from one of the following Embedded Graduate Certificates may be double-counted toward another certificate in this list: Embedded Graduate Certificate in Semiconductor Devices, Embedded Graduate Certificate in Semiconductor Fabrication Technology, and Embedded Graduate Certificate in Semiconductor Optoelectronics.

A GPA of 3.0 in certificate courses is required; only grades of C- or better may be counted toward the certificate.

To apply: see a ECE graduate advisor
