The Certificate Program in Celtic Studies provides for students in any field an integrated course of study across several curricular areas in the historical and contemporary cultures of the Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Breton, and Galician peoples. Students can concentrate on the Celtic languages, both spoken and written, or they may choose to investigate the broader themes of the Celtic world, such as art, archaeology, literature, history, folklore, music, and myth. Students also are encouraged to enrich their campus experience through participation in study-abroad programs.

The Certificate Program in Celtic Studies is open to all students seeking a bachelor’s degree from UWM, to students who previously have received a bachelor’s degree from UWM or any other accredited college or university, and to those who do not plan to pursue a college or university degree (non-degree students) but who have a strong interest in this subject. To be admitted to the university as non-degree students, individuals must meet regular university admission requirements.

To obtain the certificate, students must complete 18 credits in required courses with a minimum GPA of 2.75, including Celtic (Ethnic) 133 and at least 9 credits in upper division (numbered 300 and above) courses selected from Celtic courses and/or the list of approved electives. At least half the credits for the certificate must be taken in residence at UWM. All students are urged to participate in a study abroad program. Credits earned via study abroad through a UWM-sponsored program count as residence credits. No more than 9 credits from a single curricular area may count toward the certificate requirements, and students must select courses from at least three different curricular areas in completing their requirements. Students elect one of the following options:

OPTION A - Language Emphasis. This option requires the following three courses (9 credits) and at least 9 additional credits numbered 300 or above selected from Celtic courses and/or the approved Celtic studies electives list.

OPTION B - Cultural Emphasis. This option requires the following two courses (6 credits) and at least 12 credits selected from Celtic courses and/or the approved Celtic Studies electives list.

Required Courses

Recommended Course

Credits earned at other institutions equivalent to courses in the certificate program may be accepted in partial fulfillment of the program requirements, subject to review by the certificate program committee.

Awarding the Certificate

Students currently involved in baccalaureate studies who complete the requirements of the program successfully will be awarded the certificate at the time of graduation. Post-baccalaureate and non-degree students will receive the certificate upon successful completion of the program requirements.
