- As an enrolled student in the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (students on campus in HTM, except for this semester or year!)
- Through the American Indian Studies Degree completion program through World Campus (where the Certificate is "embedded" in the program--this option is now delayed but I want to be sure students who call about the Certificate are made aware of option 1)
