Certificate Program Registration Information
You may formally concentrate your studies in any of six different fields of law through the following certificate programs:
- The International & Comparative Law Certificate Program
- The Health Law Certificate Program
- The Environmental Law, Science & Policy Certificate Program
- The Intellectual Property and Technology Law Certificate Program

Each of these programs awards a certificate to those graduating students who enroll in the program and then successfully complete its requirements. You may find details on the various programs and their requirements at the web addresses listed above.
Please review requirements carefully before choosing to enroll in a certificate program, as several of the programs require you to enroll in certain courses in a specific semester of a specific year, or have other requirements that may constrain your course selection. Enrollment in certificate programs is completed through the Course Selection form in your registration materials. This can be done on-line when you make your course selections or in person on the course selection form that is submitted to the Registrar's Office.
Who must complete the Certificate Program portion of the Course Selection form?
- Any current first-year student who wishes to enroll in a certificate program or programs.*
- Any current second-year student who previously enrolled in a certificate program and wishes to remain enrolled in it. (Students who enrolled in a certificate program last year and who do not wish to complete the program must formally withdraw by notifying the Registrar in writing.)
Who should not complete the Certificate Program portion of the Course Selection form?
- Current first-year students who do not wish to enroll in a certificate program. (Certificate programs are optional.)
- Current second-year students who did not enroll in a certificate program last year. (Students may not begin a certificate program in their third year.)
