Applicants interested in a graduate certificate program at Penn State Great Valley should review the J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School requirements prior to beginning the application process. For questions and more information, contact us at [email protected] or 610-648-3242.

  2. Upload the following items to the online application:
    • Scan and upload a copy of the official transcripts from all institutions attended. Documents must be in either PDF or TXT format. If you have an electronic copy of your transcript, you cannot upload it directly, as the document will not appear in the application.

    • A current resume.
