What is a CAGS?
A Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) from Fitchburg State University (FSU) is an option for those who already have a Master’s Degree.
What does a typical CAGS Plan of Study look like?
- 6 credits taken online directly from FSU – courses intended to help CAGS students use future courses in preparation for the thesis
- 12 credits taken through CES – 12 of the 18 credits required for the license
- 12 additional credits taken through CES – in an additional field of concentration other than the licensure field
- 6 credits associated with the thesis, which is accomplished with the support of a FSU advisor
How Do I Get a CAGS?
In order to receive a CAGS, you will be asked to complete an enrollment application for FSU. You will then simply pay an additional fee for graduate credit on the first session of each course that you take through CES.
To obtain an application packet, complete a Request for master’s or CAGS Application.
