AWB Programs Policies
Resources
Academic integrity, acceptable use of electronic resources, and privacy issues are particularly important in online degree programs. The AWB program follows University policies and compliance requirements. Students have access to these policies, as well as resources and special services, through the links below, their courses, and orientation materials.
The Penn Book is the comprehensive source for Penn’s policies and procedures, including information on academics, resources, and student personal conduct and responsibility. As University of Pennsylvania students, Graduate Certificate or Master of Science in Animal Welfare and Behavior students are expected to adhere to these policies.
The University of Pennsylvania is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Information on accreditation and state authorization is available on the website for the Office of the Provost.
The Animal Welfare and Behavior Graduate Certificate program is offered by the University of Pennsylvania, an institution of higher education authorized to confer degrees and certificates conferring academic credit under applicable laws of the United States. Students who are interested in participating in the program from countries other than the United States are advised that each jurisdiction may have its own laws and regulations governing online educational programs, and some jurisdictions may not recognize course credit or an online degree awarded by the University as satisfying local requirements for professional licensure, employment qualification, or other purposes. Before enrolling in this program, prospective students should investigate their jurisdiction’s treatment of foreign online programs to ensure that participation in this program will meet their objectives.
