THE APPROVED COURSE LIST

Understanding the Approved Course List

THE DOCUMENT

The Explanation

  • Substitution of an additional capstone for one of the required option courses is permitted with our advisor’s assistance
  • OPEN = courses available to all certificate program students, where space permits and prerequisites have been met.
  • Review entire list for courses OPEN to all.
  • “X” indicates courses are cross-listed and therefore either course can satisfy the ENTR requirement.
  • * indicates newly approved courses not building into the current ENTR plan of study (myPurduePlan/Edu Nav). An exception is needed from the ENTR Program.
  • Pay attention to Notes and Prerequisites.
  • Look for courses that might be required in major plan of study anyway and “double duty” in those courses towards certificate completion – reducing overall course needs.
  • Review with your advisor too!
  • Always refer to the website for the most up to date Approved Course List.
