Philosophy Supporting Edgewood College Graduate Programs
Inspired by the Sinsinawa Dominican Catholic values of truth, justices, community, partnership, and compassion and guided by a commitment to intellectual excellence and reflective judgment, graduate education at Edgewood College recognizes that:
- Professional development requires intellectual excellence through mastery of theory and practice.

Institutional Certificates
Edgewood College offers a variety of Institutional Certificates (Certificates). A Certificate is similar to a degree granted by an institution, but is not as comprehensive as a degree. Courses leading to a Certificate are of the same academic quality and integrity as courses leading to a degree. The only difference is the number of areas covered by a Certificate is fewer and the focus is much more limited than a degree.
Professional Development
The ongoing professional development needs of educators, business persons and other professionals are long recognized by Edgewood College. We are devoted to supporting collaborative efforts that aim to meet lifelong learning requirements and personal goals.
Over the years, local school districts and other educational entities, organizations and community associations have established partnerships with Edgewood College to provide graduate-level credit opportunities for professional development courses. The College’s professional development specialists work in coordination with educators to develop quality PD courses that are offered for Edgewood College graduate-level credits.
