Certificate in California Indian Languages and Cultures
Certificates may be earned by regularly matriculated or extended learning students and denote successful completion of a prescribed program of study designed to:
- impart specified professional/vocational/career competencies; or
- produce mastery of the content of a sub-field of an academic major (discipline); or
- provide exposure to the range of materials in a traditional or emerging interdisciplinary field.

The transferring of credit or the substitution of courses may occur only after application to the appropriate campus authority.
