These are interdisciplinary certificates, having nothing to do with the education certificates. They appear on a students’ transcript. Students take courses in multiple areas that focus on a common theme (e.g., sustainability (http://catalog.registrar.uiowa.edu/university-college/sustainability/certificate/), leadership (http://catalog.iastate.edu/collegeofliberalartsandsciences/leadershipstudies/#certificatetext), global awareness (http://catalog.wvu.edu/undergraduate/undergraduatecertificate/globalengagement/).
