NOTES:
No more than two courses that are counted toward the ISS Certificate may also satisfy the requirements of any major, minor, or other certificate program. (NOTE: Pratt students may count additional ISS courses toward their major elective requirements.) Only students who have officially declared their major may enroll in the program, although all students may take ISS courses on a first-come/first-served basis, with ISS certificate students having preference.
To declare an ISS Certificate, fill out the appropriate paperwork with the Registrar's Office and contact Victoria Szabo or Astrid Giugni to schedule an advising session. Please complete an ISS Certificate Plan in advance of the session.
