Students specializing in transportation may be eligible to be awarded a Transportation Certificate. The Transportation Certificate Program, coordinated by the Public Policy Center, enables students to be awarded an additional credential. It is documented on a student's transcript at the time the master's degree is earned.
To obtain a certificate, Planning students must complete 18 credit hours of transportation-related courses offered in Urban and Regional Planning and Civil and Environmental Engineering. Specific requirements are listed in the University General Catalog under the heading of Transportation Studies. Substitutions are possible if the courses listed are not offered during the student's residency at the University of Iowa.
