Declaring This Certificate
Students interested in completing this certificate should complete this form: CLAS Undergraduate Certificate Intent to Declare Form, which requests that the certificate be added to your student record. Once added, you will be able to run a certificate degree audit. The certificate degree audit should be used in collaboration with the Certificate Advisor to ensure successful completion of the requirements.
Students should then work with Michael "Bodhi" Rogers (michael.b.rogers@ucdenver.edu) – the certificate advisor, to ensure completion of all certificate requirements.
These program requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their Physics advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
