Academic Certificate Programs
The School offers seven online programs leading to a campus certificate, six of which are online.

The seven certificate programs offered at the UIC School of Public Health are the following:
- Certificate Program in Public Health Informatics
- Certificate Program in Environmental Health Informatics
- Basic Community Public Health Practice Certificate
- Advanced Community Public Health Practice

NOTE: Applications to the "Non-degree Public Health" program are no longer
being accepted for Summer 2010.
Credit Non-Degree Programs
The UIC School of Public Health offers interested persons the opportunity to register for public health courses in a non-degree status. Twelve semester hours of course credits and letter grades earned by credit non-degree students may be transferred toward a degree program upon the student's acceptance as a degree candidate and with the consent of the academic division to which the student has been admitted. Credit non-degree students are accepted every semester. The number of credit non-degree seats available each term is limited. Students interested in applying as a non-degree student can apply to one of the following four credit non-degree options:
- Non-degree Public Health
- Non-degree Public Health: Public Health Informatics
- Non-degree Masters of Healthcare Administration
- Non-degree Public Health: Division of Community Health Sciences at Peoria
Admission is granted on a first come, first serve basis. Students are strongly encouraged to apply early. Admission as a Credit Non-degree student does not guarantee admission to any of the degree granting programs of the School. Non-degree applicants must apply through the University of Illinois at Chicago’s online application system. Applicants can access this system by going to the following website: http://www.uic.edu/depts/oar/grad/apply_grad_degree.html.
