What is the Certificate of Advanced Study?
The Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) is 30 units of graduate study beyond the master’s degree. This certificate is sometimes referred to as the Sixth Year Certificate. The CAS culminates in a thesis or creative project. The requirements for the CAS are met upon successful completion of 30-units of graduate credit, and all courses leading to the CAS must be taken through the GLSP. No transferred credit is accepted toward the CAS.
