The STAGES certificate is open to:

1. All College of Science and College of Engineering and Computer Science graduate students, but it may be of particular interest to graduate students in coastal and marine system science, environmental science, and marine biology. With the application of courses toward core and elective degree requirements, coastal and marine system science, environmental science, and marine biology students will have at most 2 additional courses beyond their degree plans to obtain the STAGES certificate.  For graduate students in chemistry, mathematics, and geographical information science the courses in addition to their degree plans would be much greater due to the prescribed nature of their degree plans.
2. TAMU-CC undergraduate students that are on a Fast Track BS to MS.
3. Students who have previously completed B.S. and/or M.S. degrees at TAMU-CC or elsewhere and who wish to obtain a certificate (post-baccalaureate).

*Please allow 24-48 hours after your application is processed to receive Student Identification number.
