The Kansas Insurance Certificate provides academic preparation for students who want to pursue a career in the insurance and financial services industries. While the program is offered in partnership with several Kansas Regents universities, all coursework may be completed at Washburn University.

Certificate Requirements

The program requires four (4) three-credit-hour courses for business or non-business students. A grade of C or better must be earned in each course and at least six hours must be earned at Washburn University. Some courses have prerequisite requirements. However, prerequisites normally are met as part of the student's major program.
