What is a certificate in interpretive
and qualitative research good for?
The Certificate Program is intended to provide individuals with
an opportunity for concentrated study in interpretive and qualitative
methods. In addition to graduate and doctoral students, post-doctoral
students, practicing professionals, faculty and advanced undergraduates
are welcome to participate. Through the Certificate Program, CIQR
aims to increase interdisciplinary discourse about research among
Duquesne University faculty and students as well as to provide recognition
for work done in an emerging specialty which is becoming increasingly
important in both academic and professional work.
What are the Requirements?
Introduction to Interpretive and/or Qualitative Research--3
credits. This course is taken in the participant’s home or
related discipline either at Duquesne or another university.
Elective(s) in Interpretive and/or Qualitative Research--6
credits. These credits may be earned either in the participant’s
home discipline or in another discipline; either at Duquesne or
other accredited institution. Both courses must be at the intermediate
or advanced level.

Certificate participants who want to fulfill the elective credit
requirement by registering for a course not included on the
list of approved courses or by completing experience(s) in an
alternative format should consult with the CIQR
Certificate Coordinator for approval.
Pro-seminar--3 credits. These credits are meant to provide
participants with an interdisciplinary structure for pursuing a
substantive, culminating project. Completion of the first 9 credits
of the Certificate Program is prerequisite to registering for these
final three credits. In addition, a prerequisite is participation
in all CIQR events for at least one term prior to registration in
the pro-seminar.
