The Social Science Methods Certificate Program enhances methodological education for UNLV graduate students across social science disciplines. This interdisciplinary initiative delivers comprehensive training in empirical research methods, equipping students with versatile analytical skills. Participants develop proficiency in methodologies applicable to their specific research areas while exploring approaches from other social science fields. The program fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration, encouraging students to integrate diverse methodological perspectives. To earn certification, students complete 15 graduate-level credit hours in social science research methods, including at least 3 credits outside their primary department. While administered by the College of Liberal Arts, the program welcomes graduate students from all UNLV colleges.

Qualification Requirements

Bachelor's Degree - You must hold a four-year baccalaureate from a regionally accredited institution or an approved equivalent.

Grade Point Average - You must have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.75 (4.00=A) for the bachelor's degree or a minimum 3.00 (4.00=A) for the last two years (60 semester hours). Applicants with international academic work can use Scholaro to estimate their U.S. GPA calculation. While Scholaro can provide an approximate representation of your converted U.S. GPA, it does not replace the comprehensive evaluation of academic coursework conducted by the UNLV Office of Admissions. Our GPA calculation and credential equivalency review are still essential in the admission process. UNLV's evaluation may differ from the results generated by this tool.

Transcripts - One transcript from every post-secondary institution the applicant has attended (regardless of whether a degree or credential was earned), showing all coursework, extension and correspondence work, any degrees earned, and the dates that those degrees were awarded. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted as part of the application process. However, if an applicant is admitted, official transcripts will be required by the date specified on the Certificate of Admission. Transfer credits posted on another institution's transcript will not be accepted in lieu of the transcript itself. Only transcripts sent directly from the institution are considered official. Failure to disclose all coursework and/or degrees awarded will result in rescission of admission. IELTS - 6.5, TOEFL - 80, (Paper-based) Minimum score - 74 (Computer-based) Minimum score - 213, Pearson Test of English (PTE) - Minimum score - 65
