Only students enrolled in a Ph.D. degree program at the University of Maryland, College Park will be eligible for the NACS Certificate. Students enrolled in the NACS Ph.D. program are not eligible. Interested students are encouraged to contact the NACS office for advisement on coordinating the NACS Certificate requirements with their Ph.D. requirements. Admission will be at the discretion of the NACS Graduate Director, with the advice and consent of the NACS Executive Committee. Students must submit a letter to the NACS Graduate Director requesting admission to the Certificate Program and outlining their plan of study for the NACS Certificate. Students must also identify a NACS faculty member to serve as their Certificate advisor. In many cases this may be the student’s existing departmental Ph.D. advisor.
