 Return to: Graduate Programs
The Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study: Interdisciplinary Studies (CAGS-Interdisciplinary) consists of 6 courses (18 credits). The CAGS-Interdisciplinary is a post-master’s degree program. This is truly an interdisciplinary program as courses must come from three or more of the graduate disciplines at Saint Joseph’s College’s division of Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS).
A Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study: Interdisciplinary Studies will enable GPS graduate students to continue to take graduate courses after they have completed their master’s degree. This CAGS-Interdisciplinary also welcomes students from outside of the Saint Joseph’s College programs who have completed a master’s degree at another regionally accredited institution and who wish to continue their studies online at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine. The CAGS-Interdisciplinary will recognize the completion of a course of study beyond the master’s degree.
The Saint Joseph’s College of Maine Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study: Interdisciplinary Studies will utilize selected courses from the graduate disciplines in Health Care Administration, Nursing, Education, Pastoral Theology, and Business Administration. The CAGS-Interdisciplinary must combine courses in at least three of the Saint Joseph’s College graduate disciplines.
