Current OSU graduate students who intend to pursue the certificate in conjunction with a graduate degree:

To apply, you must electronically submit:

1. Submit the Instructional Design application documents to [email protected]

The application documents include: (1) CV/résumé, and (2) 1-2 page personal/professional narrative.  Additional requirements for these materials are described on the application page.

2. A Certificate Request Form (also known as a "Change of Major/Degree Request Form").

Under "Work on Concurrent Degree/Certificate", select "Certificate" and "Instructional Design (Certificate)." Your Change of Degree/Major Request Form will not be processed unless you are admitted to the Instructional Design certificate. You will not be charged the application fee. 

If you don’t want to apply to the OSU Graduate School but would like to take individual classes that are part of the instructional design graduate certificate curriculum, you may apply to OSU as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.

Nondegree-seeking students who may later wish to apply to a graduate degree program should be aware that a maximum of 9 credits earned as a nondegree-seeking student may be transferred to a graduate certificate or degree program. For additional details, please refer to the “Nondegree Status” section of admission to Oregon State University.
