The Department of Electrical Engineering allows students to pursue a certificate in a number of different areas. For most EE certificate programs, students will be awarded certificates upon completion of four courses comprised of a minimum of two core courses and a minimum of one elective course. The certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the courses with a letter grade indicator average of 3.0. Please note that the Electrical Engineering certificate programs are being revised and updated. If you are nearing completion of requirements for a certificate under an earlier definition, please contact SCPD Registration at 650-725-4694 for your options. If you are just beginning a certificate program and the requirements have changed, proceed under the new definition. Course descriptions may be found in the Course Portfolio The areas are: How to Enroll Certificate seekers may begin the program in the autumn, winter or spring quarter under the Non Degree Option by completing an online enrollment application. First time students must also provide transcripts from all previous colleges and universities. Those who wish to update their skills and stay current in their field without seeking graduate credit may enroll under the Audit Option. Tuition information.

		Individually Designed EE Certificate Program
		A Non Degree Option (NDO) student can propose an individually designed plan of certificate study comprised of four courses focused on a topic area that is not represented by the already defined EE certificate programs. The courses must be at the 200 level or above, and include at least one course at the 300 level, and must be selected from courses offered through SCPD. The proposal should be submitted to scpd-registration@stanford.edu for review and approval by the EE Department. Students with an approved plan of certificate study will be awarded the certificate upon successful completion of the four courses with a letter grade indicator average of 3.0 or better.
