All the graduate certificates below are currently offered at UK. There are past recipients of these graduate certificates and there are students currently enrolled who are working toward completion of the requirements. The graduate certificates were approved by historical procedures that were thought to have been in place at the time. Originally, graduate certificates used to be approved only by the Graduate Council. Later, it was determined that the process should have included approval by the Senate Council (SC) and then later still, by the SC and Senate.

In order to appropriately code these certificates in the new Campus Management module, the IRIS Team and the Registrar have asked that these Graduate Certificates be moved forward through current, official channels. In some cases, the current description (from the Graduate School website) of a certificate is used, primarily if the original proposal was not complete or could not be found.
