The Graduate Certificate in Local Government Management is designed to meet a growing need in our local governments to understand their varied and complex challenges and the ability to apply effective and innovative management practices. In addition, the Graduate Certificate in Local Government Management provides graduate-level continuing education for both in-service and pre-career students. The program emphasizes the managerial skills essential for local government programs in an evolving metropolitan environment. The knowledge gained can strengthen the student's professional standing and help open doors to managerial and leadership positions.
Credits earned in the certificate program may be applied toward the Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree. However, admission to the MPA degree program has separate requirements from those of the certificate program and students considering continuing into the master's degree should familiarize themselves with credit transfer policy and should consult with the academic advisor early in their certificate program. The Graduate Certificate in Local Government Management requires that students complete 18 credit hours. Students must maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average to be awarded the Graduate Certificate. The certificate must be completed within seven years.
Total Credit Hours Required: 18 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree
Please note: The Local Government Management Graduate Certificate Program may be completed online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.

The Ph.D. program within the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) at the University of Central Florida provides preeminent doctoral education focused on emerging methods and technologies within and beyond CSD, including: simulation, instrumentation, immersion, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and computational analytics with machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Courses in the program are infused with broad CSD content presented with a focus on emerging methods and technologies, as well as principles of project and business management including proposal development, all as they are applied in CSD. With knowledge and skills in these methodologies, students can use their advanced content knowledge in CSD to maximize innovation, discovery, and translation to practice in the workforce sectors of healthcare, technology, and academia. This advanced content is aimed at making graduates more highly skilled and competitive in academic, industry, and healthcare settings in which employers seek a broader skill set requiring expertise in CSD subdisciplines as well as knowledge and experience in related fields (e.g., health sciences management, data analytics, linguistics, acoustics, engineering).
A key component of the program is mentored research training from CSD faculty. Students will select potential faculty members that most closely align with their research interests. CSD faculty are active in a wide range of research areas including: AAC, voice, upper airway assessment, communication gestures, aphasia, apraxia of speech, literacy, early intervention, autism, language disorders, voice, aerodigestive systems, motor speech disorders, speech perception, hearing aid signal processing, auditory perception, auditory neuroscience, neuroimaging, tinnitus, hyperacusis, sensory integration, health literacy, as well as aging and cognition as related to communication. Inter-professional education and collaboration are featured in nearly all research programs within the UCF School of CSD.
The CSD Ph.D. requires a total of 72 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree is required, including 18 credit hours of core and research courses, 9 credits of research electives and 21 credits of content area electives. The remaining degree requirements will include 9 hours of Directed Research and 15 credits of Dissertation. The core courses include: 1) Advanced Instrumentation and Analyses in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences, 2) Principles and Applications of Simulation and Virtualization in CSD, 3) Organization Administration and Management in CSD, and 4) Proseminar in CSD. The program is a full-time, face-to-face program offered on the UCF main campus.

Traditionally, medicine and medical interventions have been designed to diagnose and treat illness. However, current trends in the field indicate that a more comprehensive approach to health care goes well beyond the specific scope of acute illness and patient/caregiver parameters, instead seeking to care for the whole person and the larger ecosystem in which we find ourselves. Including studies in medical ethics, religious and cultural identities, cognitive sciences, theoretical and moral frameworks of science and technology, among other areas, this comprehensive model of health serves as the foundation of many of the larger frameworks regarding medicine and medical treatments.
Students enrolled in the Medical Humanities Certificate work at the intersection of these different frameworks, examining the many factors that influence health and shape our perceptions of various dimensions of health and well-being. Through cross-disciplinary work in fields as diverse as religion, philosophy, cultural studies, neuroscience, and comparative literature, they develop their ability to think critically about the reciprocal relationship between health and culture. The program’s unique focus on the cultural, religious, and societal dimensions of health and illness promotes an awareness that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
