How should an LL.M. degree program be designated?
An LL.M. degree is to be counted as a Master’s degree. Our institution offers Certificates that are essentially the same as degree minors. A student must be enrolled in a given degree program in order to be able to earn the Certificate as well. Does this kind of Certificate meet your definition of Certificate? Or must the Certificate program be a stand-alone program? Count only the stand-alone Certificates and not the so-called Certificates of Achievement that are awarded to students minoring in a certain field but would not have been awarded absent successful completion of the major and the degree.
