Undergraduate Certificate

This certificate will assist UD students in exploring their vocation and will set them up for success as they explore opportunities such as graduate school, professional school and/or sitting for the CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) exam. The CHES outlines eight areas of responsibility. This certificate is designed to expand upon these eight areas, contributing toward the requirements needed for a student to sit for the exam, therefore increasing employability.
